Tip #28 – Count records in List Pages

This Blog Article was brought forward from my old blog

In the classic client it was a requirement from a lot of end-users to easily count filtered records in a listform. This can be solved by adding a control with SourceExpr COUNT on the form.

In the List Page search for the end of the group repeater and add a new group group. In this group add a field with SourceExpr Count and add some captions.

This is the result:

This is just what I experimented and implemented, it is not supported by Microsoft!
