[RESOLVED] Recordset Counting problem

[intercepter]

I am a little unclear on what you are doing but it would seem that the count is the actual count of items in the collection, in which case I would think that you would need to remove the items from teh collection as they are sent.

Of course since you are also keeping track of lines sent you could use a formula in your display like count-linessent to display the remaining number as well.

What I am trying to do is create a collection of db entries. Count the total search results, group them into 10 item segments if there are more than 12 and as the group of items gets sent out, reduce the number of items via a counting function.

The function to send them out in groups of 10 works without repeating anything already sent to that user. The problem is, the Count variable cant be manipulated because I get an error saying it is protected. I assume protected in the KeyWordSearch sub. With that in mind, I am trying to figure out the best way to handle this collection for a particular user. Via counting it, and/or removing items from the collection before returning to a wait state waiting for the user to type $more again for their next set of results.

I hope this makes what I am trying to do more clear. I also tried count-linessent and again I get the protected error. To be specific on the error itself I get: Complie Error: Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an automation type not supported in visual basic

I also tried to use NewCount = Count - LinesSent and it says I need an object for LinesSent. I believe I need to use SearchResult and that doesn't even work either.

Any suggestions on where to look?
