Re: recordcount without query

["JFLaplante" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan Bracuk:  It has the invoice date field BUT, sometimes, invoices with a 
previous date are added.  They end up at the bottom of the file like the newer 
ones but the invoice date is not useable for that purpose.

 From my point of view, the  number of records in a table is 'known' 
information like the size of a file in a directory.  I should be easy to get 
without any complicated query.  Like when I play in PHPMyAdmin, I can see all 
about the tables instantly.

 I thought my way was going to be easy but it turns out to be more complicated 
than I anticipated.
