Seems odd to load a search form with all records, then repeatedly requery it as criteria is applied. If you must, then perhaps get a recordsetclone.recordcount at the beginning (i.e. all records from the underlying table or query), then again when the search is all done. Why would you not use a standard search form that loads all the criteria then open this continuous form using the criteria chosen.
I would think that the numbers ought to be represented as they should because Access is using symbols/formats as determined from the user's regional settings in Windows. Then again, I don't have the multi-regional experience so can't be sure.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
