You have 2 forms: form1 which contains the field where you want to store the 
number of records you find in form2.

Create a temp field in form1: zTmp
Create an optional field in form1 to hold the number of records found in form2: 
RowCount
Create a filter attached to form1:
1st action:
Set field from: Form1
No match: Set fields to $NULL$
Multiple match: Use 1st matching
Set Field if: the query you had in your table field
Set Fields: zTmp <-- $1$

2nd action
Set field from: Current Transaction
Set Fields: RowCount <-- $LASTCOUNT$
