This may be really simple but I can't find how to get a record count in
business contact manager.
If I make a report, for example, and want to know how many contacts are in
the report, how do I get this info?
Is there some feature where you just highlight the column and it displays
the total number of records?
Thx.

I figured this one out for myself & thought I'd post. The quickest way to do
this is to take whatever report you display and "export to excel." Excel
gives you number of records instantly.
By the way, I'm finding that Microsoft Discussion Groups are NOT very
useful. Very disappointing. MS seems great at marketing up to the point of
purchase, then it's up to you, sucka, to figure out how things work.
Supposedly this discussion group is their way of solving your problems.

What would you suggest for a support mechanism that would be more useful? I
think Microsoft does a good job of having competent employees monitor these
discussion groups.

Thanks for responding. This is much simpler than my workaround solution.

Well, actually, I have had some useful replies since posting my frustrated
message, so I will keep on posting my questions and thanking those who take
the time to reply and maybe one day be able to help someone out with my
newfound expertise!
