If I understand the problem correctly, just set the property of the textbox on the report to be =dcount("status","my source query or table name","status = 'R' ")

I will forward your reply to the group to him his field name is [status] and it has listed as values in it either a C, R, U ________________________________ From: Derek Hess Sent: Wed 10/24/2007 10:16 AM To: Dave Moreau Subject: RE: 0718 AM Sure, I can try. Here goes. In the report header we have a text box. Within that text box we would like to have an expression that counts records from within the report below, that equals a particular letter (value) in a specific column. For example: The column in question has letters ('C', 'R', 'U', etc) When the value within that column is an 'R' we would like to have the count displayed, so of lets say 400 records, if 36 have 'R' in that column, the textbox should display 36 not 0 or 400. Is this clear enough?? -Derek <http://www.cafemess <http://www.cafemessenger.com/info/info_sweetstuff2.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_OctW Ltagline> enger.com/info/info_sweetstuff2.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_OctWLtagline> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential or legally privileged.
