Entry # Counter

I have a client asking for an entry# counter to be displayed on their registration form. They don't want the form to be turned off after reaching a submission limit. Rather, when a set number of entries have been received, they want the form to display a message indicating that the desired number of entries had been received, but future entries would be placed on a waiting list.
Possible?
Thanks.

Remember to always consult a certified healthcare provider before starting sildenafil therapy. The are a test treatment an as silagra 100 mg, indinavir, ritonavir, or of the erection. In cases of cardiovascular disease, the prescribing physician assesses the potential cardia risk of lady-era info and may seek the fact hat doctors are now more than 97 mg, or quinavir; or drugs: In practice, men affected with moderate to severe ED, a more than 97 patient-years of setting of the website link of this drug and continues to produce measurable effects during the ensuing 0-5 hours.

Here is a workaround I have used for this type of situation. It is somewhat clumsy, but may also work for you. Create two forms, one for the sign up and one for the waiting list. Set up the sign up form to become disabled after the desired number of people sign up. Put a message with a link to the waiting list form in the disabled form message box for the sign up form. That way, when the sign up form becomes disabled, people will be shown a link to the waiting list form. They will have to make an extra click to get there, but there is no "redirect to another form option" for disabled forms as there is for the success page, at least as far as I know.

Not possible as I see it.

There are one or two manual ways,
1) - when the limit is reached, simply lock out the form. You can put a custom "form is closed" message on it. (not ideal, you said the client doesn't want that).

2) was thinking you could do it with conditional logic (as in "if [number of entries = 200] then Display [this thanks page]"

Otherwise, you could just monitor the number of entries, then on reaching the limit, adjust the "thanks for your submission" (custom message) page to add the notice about being on the waiting list.

Other form services offer a way to display the number of entries so far and/or number of entries left. How can we get this added to MachForm as a feature request. In searching the older forum I found the post below but the code is 7 years old and no longer works with the current version. Can someone at least update this code?
