You need to keep track of all the insertions and deletions yourself. We ended up
coding a technique where we had data in record 0
of the database increment every time a record was added and decrimented upon deletion.
Thus, getting the record count was a simple
read. When you call DmNumRecordsInCategory() it does a search and count every time
you call it.
Just put together a group of functions for record management that does the DmXX()
calls you need but also does your amount
tracking. Have the rest of your app use these new functions and you should be fine.
