Gary, You can get a count by running a direct SQL against the view of the form that table field is built on using the same condition as in the table field.. Select count(*) from view_name where <condition>

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.
