I want my forms to display something like:

Record (2 of 65)

when the user navigates through the rowset.

This is easy if you start from the beginning or the end of a rowset, because
I can set
a currentRec variable either to 1 or the recordcount and increment or
decrement it for each navigation.

My problem is, how to find out which record I'm at if I've got there from an
applyLocate() call. If I set a bookmark using something like:

this.currentRec = form.rowset.bookmark()

and then

alert(''+this.currentRec)

I get a message displaying the word "BookMark"  (including the
capitalisation).
Is there any way of getting at a record number value?

Any help would be appreciated

This requires that you have a value that can be used to display it --
the Objects used for record handling in IntraBuilder do not give
access to the "recno" field of the .DBF, and if you're using any other
table type, then the record number doesn't exist at all.

Suggestion: either add a special field to your table or don't do it at
all. 

(Bookmarks will not do what you want ...)
