he had a similar thread on this;
i think the original poster is trying to get a formula like (#records matching my WHERE clause) / Total Records, but he thinks it is stored in the statistics of the server?
That's not the same as the statistics kept in SQL Server, and would vary for every query with a different WHERE statmenet.
