Raj, The same can be done using the sql count as suggested earlier..
select count(*) from HPD_Worklog where comment = 'particular value' If that particular value is embedded in the text in the comment field, then you might want to use a like search select count(*) from HPD_Worklog where comment like '%particular value%' Run this in a Set field using an SQL and return the $1$ to that field whenever you want lets say window open, using a active link, and set the count to your integer field.

Form 1: HPD:HelpDesk, Integer Field on HPD:HelpDesk form. Form2: HPD:Worklog So, whenever there is a submit to HPD:Worklog through webservice, comments are added to the HPD:Worklog, so only for a particular comment , which would be my RUN IF( 'Comment'="Particular Value") qualification for designing the filter on submit on HPD:Worklog, I need to increment the count through that integer field (which would be a hidden integer field), which is on HPD:HelpDesk form.
