Hello

I hope someone can shed some light on a slight problem. I am setting up a
database to hold personal information about pupils at our school. I have
set up a a Query by Form system linked to a report.

I've displayed the total number of records found at the bottom of the report
(Which I've done using a =count(Name) within a text box. What I'd like to
do is display the total number of records in the original (unsearched)
record set.

The bottom of the report would then read:

14 records found out of 30

using 2 text boxes and a label in the middle :

=count(name) found out of XXXXXX ----some kind of expression
which I can't figure out.

I've tried using =count(original_table_name!name) but this for some reason
still only displays the number of selected records and not the number from
the original set.

Any help much appreciated!

Rob

Rob,
On my website (below) I have a 97 and 2003 sample file called
Record Statistics. That should demonstrate how to display the
form's recordset statistics you want.
Given 500 records, and you're on the 10th record...
10 of 500 of 500
If you filter that form to 300 records and you're on the 10th record...
10 of 300 of 500
