Hi

Anyone have an idea on how to display the Record number in a field?

I want the field to display the record number every time I got to the "Next or Previous" (scroll through) record.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I know this one.  

{{RecordNumber}}

and you can see options with Insert and then down towards the bottom.

Read about the Get Functions they can be very helpful. The Insert RecordNumber as charity gave you is just one.

Get Functions http://fmhelp.filemaker.com/fmphelp_14/en/html/func_ref1.32.63.html

Get (Record Number) http://fmhelp.filemaker.com/fmphelp_14/en/html/func_ref1.32.131.html#1068503

and this one that usually accompanies it

Get(TotalRecordCount) http://fmhelp.filemaker.com/fmphelp_14/en/html/func_ref1.32.154.html#1126378

Another one you might find useful

Get (RecordOpenCount) http://fmhelp.filemaker.com/fmphelp_14/en/html/func_ref1.32.132.html#1068555

There are a lot of things that FileMaker can do, you owe it to yourself, to thoroughly

Why does it have to be in a field (as opposed to being directly on the layout - as suggested by Charity above)?

I was more interested in them reading about the Get Functions, NOT the creation of fields, which is why I mentioned Charity post in mine.
