I have a Folder View for which I would like to count the items or lines that
were selected by my Filter. For example, I have a Folder containg Contact
records. My View filters out just those Contacts from the "Members" Categogy
and my Report displays the "Members" names.

Now I would like to number the line items in sequence on the left margin, so
that I can see how many of my Contacts are "Members" without manually
counting the lines; however, I cannot find a count field in the Contacts data
set, or anywhere else; Nor is there an option to include a count.

Any help out there will be greatly appreciated.

outlook does not offer such and option. you could copy the items and paste
into notepad, then show the status bar to see line numbers of selected
lines.

Thank you, Diane. I was afraid of that. I have been exporting to EXCEL to use
their counts and printing from there.
This is a truly great resource.
Thanks again.

if you are using File, Export, select all items copy and paste (may need to
paste special, as text) into Excel - it;s faster.
