I recall that in an earlier version of Excel, when I used auto filters to
select a certain group of records in a worksheet, a message always appeared
on the bottom bar of the screen saying "273 records selected" (or whatever
the number was). This now doesn't happen (I'm using Excel 2003 in MS Office
Professional). Can anyone tell me if this feature is still available, and if
so how I turn it on? "Help" has turned up blank.

Many thanks in advance,
Jonathan
