Yeah, but the condition will change based on what the user chooses from a menu. I'm using EXTERNAL() in the table qual, and don't want to deal with maintaining all of the direct SQL version of the remedy searches from which the user could potentially pull.
I used $LASTCOUNT$. If that would't have worked, I would have had to have used an active link to call an active link guide to call an active link that would increment a counter. Add in table looping, and it should work too.

On dev, the default for the field used in the EXTERNAL() call for the table qualification would result in 1 ticket, and it was by default highlighted. So, whenever I changed the menu, which would in turn change the value in the field referenced in the EXTERNAL() call, it would update the table, and would keep that same ticket highlighted. That ticket happened to always be the last ticket in the table, so I was getting the number of rows, essentially. Now, on production, there were no records returned by the default EXTERNAL() value. So, whenever I changed the field that the EXTERNAL() referenced, and the table refreshed, no records were highlighted, and that gave me a value of 0 for the table field. I will do some table looping or something to get a count. I wish I could use a ROWCOUNT('Table Field') function or something.

So, the active link does a set fields. It sets 'Ticket Count' =$tbl_Tickets$ On dev, this will set the Ticket Count integer field to the number of records in the tbl_Tickets table. This works fine in dev, but not in prod.
