As I understand it, reading both the Help file and my manuals, Get(RecordNumber) should return a record’s current position in a found set.

Get(RecordID) returns a unique, internal number that identifies the record to Filemaker.

But for some reason, they are both returning the same value, even when I have only 1 record found.

I’m running  Filemaker 9.0v3 on a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac with OS X v 10.5.8

I keep double-checking I’ve defined the fields correctly, and I have.

What’s weirder, I have a calculation which inserts some extra text if  Get(RecordNumber) = 1 and that is working on the first record of the set, although the Get(RecordNumber) field stubbornly shows, say, 50.

Why are the results different when used within another calculation?

Yours scratching her head,
