Thanks Tim,
Now I realise what it is I think it should stay as a counter of total data.

One other question: as this system only uses free access accounts, is there 
a way to purge (as in delete, not disable) accounts that have been inactive 
for a set period? because free access accounts have no expiry there are a 
very large number of user accounts on the system (13,000 +) and I worry if 
this might affect db or other performance.....
