It's value is set at the time of a DB search transaction, and is saved to the form if you have performed either s submit or modify after that search transaction.
An open window action is not a DB search transaction. It is a client side event or trigger. If an open window is all that happens, at the time your window is open to set your defaults, there is no DB transaction that takes place that performs a search. Hence when your defaults are set to the form, you will probably see the literal string $LASTCOUNT$ in that field, which means nothing to the client as its something that the server side search operations knows to resolve. The browser or the user tool client has no clue whatsoever what it means. That is the clearest way I can explain its properties.

I understood what this keyword does but I am not able to get what does that statement means. Can anybody give me an example for statement - $LASTCOUNT$ keyword is not expanded when default values are set _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
