Re: Entries in Table Field on Open or Display?
Drew, While all these methods would work, use a little caution about refreshing the table field if not needed to be refreshed if the table against which that table field is built is a large table. You do not really want to get the results back if they are not needed.. In that case I would use a direct SQL with a select count(*) where whatever the criteria is on the table field qualification and set that to a field. The cost of this would be less than getting results back and then doing a count over the result set on the table field..

Re: Entries in Table Field on Open or Display?
You can do a colcount($columnname$) on a column you know won't be null (like hidden request id if you like), and if the count is > 0 you know there are entries in the table. _ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Drew Shuller Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 2:52 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Entries in Table Field on Open or Display? ** Good afternoon listers.
