Counting amount of records in quick

[Rohde Dirk (Van)]

If you are using a relational database, you can use an embedded SQL command
("select count(0) from <file>"), otherwise I think you need to use brute
force - a "while retrieving" loop with a counter.  If you don't need the
exact count, put a break once your counter is greater than 5000.
