The easiest way to do this (believe it or not!) is to include a subform
on your form based on a query which selects records based on the value
showing on your main form and you can thereby count records.
It sounds horribly complex and it is! Slowly, though, here are the
steps. I'm assuming tou have a table called tblTable and a form called
frmForm, both of which include your field called first.
Make a new query called qryQuery based on tblTable and including only
one field: first.
In the criteria line, type in: Forms!frmForm!first
Now make a new form called frmSub. Put an unbound text box on it and
enter =count(first) as its data source. Make the form really timy - just
big enough for the new text box.
Now go back to design view of frmForm and insert a subform. Choose
frmSub as the source and say 'none' when it asks you for the linking
basis.
Done.

Subject: [mso] Counting records in Access with an IF statement
Dear all,
I have a table and a field called first. I have a form with an unbound
text box. In the properties section, Control Source, I have this code
that counts the records in the field FIRST. This works perfectly.
=Count([first])
Now, what I'd like to do please, is to count the records based on a
criteria, such as MICHAEL
How would the code look - in Excel I'd use a COUNTIF? I was hoping it
was as simple as
=count([first])="Michael", but this errors.
Many thanks,
> Regards,
