It’s nice to show users record counts (found count, total number of records in the database, current record they’re browsing), but if you’re hiding the status bar for other reasons, it means creating separate calculated fields for each value. This can bulk up your system and be a pain to create in every single table.
Try the following trick… Paste the following code into the Web Address field of a new Web Viewer.
Substitute ( "data:text/html, <html> <body style='background-color:white;margin:0;border:none'> <div align='center'> <span style='font-family:Lucida Grande;font-size:11px;color:black'> ### of @@@ (%%% total) </div> </body> </html>" ; ["###" ; Get (RecordNumber)]; ["@@@" ; Get (FoundCount)]; ["%%%" ; Get (TotalRecordCount)] )
Deselect the checkboxes at the bottom of the setup window.
Position the web viewer on your layout. You can move it, resize it and even make the surrounding box disappear by changing its line width to 0 pt.
Notice how fast it is as you click through records. Perhaps the best part is you can copy and paste this web viewer into any file and it will work! No need to alter the setup from one database to the next.
