[AccessD] OnFilter event (repeat) - NOW toolbar event?

Selina,

That's pretty close..

The counter box in is a status bar panel and the continous form is a JIT
subform, so I can't directly refer to it.  As per charlotte's response I
can now get the count properly via a sub called through the on_current
event of the subform and directly update the stbar panel text.   I still
have a philosophical problem with using the on_current evet though as it
fires after many actions have been taken not just the toolbar filter.

So my problem has now become : is there a more appropriate event or
other way to set the count if and only if the filter has changed through
the user using the toolbar buttons?

Hi Bruce

If it is a continuous list form, I normally have an unbound text box in
the header or footer with control source as = count(recID)  & " matches"
when the filter runs it will automatically recalculate this control.

You could also use the following if you just want the number returned so
you could do more work with it. NumToReturn =
dcount("*",me.recordsource,me.filter)
