    Why not use getResouces for this? No hassle with unpublished/deleted resources, default TV values etc.

    [[getResources?
&parents=`42`
&includeTVs=`MyTV`
&tvFilters=`MyTV!=`
&totalVar=`totalnotempty`
]]
[[+totalnotempty]]

        Thanks all of you. Jaco posted the sugestion about using getResources to mee at Stackoverflow, and it worked vell:
        [[!getResources? &limit=`1` &parents=`3` &tpl=`countTpl` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tvPrefix=`` &hideContainers=`1` &tvFilters=`pickedUp!=` &totalVar=`totalnotempty`]]

        and then of cource
        &tvFilters=`pickedUp==`
        if I need to count the empty ones.

        I didn't think about that my self. Thanks again. smiley Now to the next level in this case. I'll try to figure out the solution my self based on your sugestion here. If I can't I'll post the next question in these forum.
          I think, thererfor I am! But what I am, and why...?
