I might be way off, but couldn't you use the "EndRowNumber" or
"LastRowNumber" , cant remember the exact name, property of TIB_Query?

Hi James!

Do you need to refresh the count on every post and delete? Why not let
the user click somewhere if he wants to update the record count? I do
not know what your application is doing, but another thing that you
could do, is to do a SELECT FIRST 101 <id> FROM <table> and then walk
through the records counting them. If there's more than 100 then you
could simply respond "More than 100 records". It isn't very useful
when there is only a few records involved, but if you may have
millions of records in your dataset, it can occationally be sensible
doing something like this.

HTH,
Set
