I think you've overcomplicated the query.  IIRC, it should look something
like:

select count(a_items.wine_type_id) as wcount
where [whatever]
group by a_items.wine_type_id
order by [whatever]

Remember -- it's generally a bad idea to run a query selecting real data and
aggregates (like count) at the same time.

: The following query doesn't quite do what I want it to do, and I'm stumped
: on how to get what I want ...
:
: SELECT  COUNT(a_items.WINE_TYPE_ID) AS WCOUNT,
:               w_types.TYPE_ID,
:               w_types.TYPE,
:               a_items.TYPE_ID,
:               a_items.END_TIME
: FROM w_types, a_items
: WHERE w_types.TYPE_ID = a_items.TYPE_ID
: AND DATEDIFF( minute, #createODBCDATETIME(dateAdd("h", "-3", NOW()))#,
: a_items.END_TIME) >= 0
: GROUP BY w_types.TYPE_ID,
:               w_types.TYPE,
:               a_items.TYPE_ID,
:               a_items.END_TIME
: ORDER BY TYPE
:
: What I need is something that returns:
:
: a_typeA (5)
: a_typeB (6)
:
: Where (n) is the number of that named type.
:
: What I'm getting is
:
: a_typeA (1)
: a_typeA (1)
: a_typeA (1)
: a_typeA (1)
: a_typeA (1)
: a_typeA (1)
:
: Anybody have any pointers on how to get what I need? (speaking strictly of
: the query, of course).
