Jim, Outstanding - Many, Many thanks.

In the ControlSource of the unbound text box, place the following: =DCount("[FIRST]","[tblYourTable]","[FIRST]='MICHAEL'") Domain aggregate functions are great for rolling up all sorts of data, but you should know that they're not terribly fast. --Jim -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of michael.crader@xxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 4:17 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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.
