Checking for empty fields on a layout

[Woodnote]

I'm trying to create a script (that will function on any layout—that is, one that doesn't need any field names or layout names written into the script itself) loop through all of the fields in the current layout once, count the number of fields that are empty on the current layout, and then set a variable "$Empty_Fields" to that number (the number of empty fields on the current layout). I'm struggling though and I know that one of you guys can whip upa simple script in seconds that'll accomplish this...any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks,

It is simple, if you loop through the values returned by FieldNames() using GetField(). However, I would question why you need this - it sounds like a symptom of a deeper issue.
