COUNT TYPES OF ITEMS IN A FIELD

[Jim]

I have one field defined titled "status". This is a drop-down field
and the options are "Active" or "Inactive".
I need a query which will count the number of "Active" and "Inactive"
in this field. The count function only gives me the total records in
this field. Thanks for your help. I am using Access 2007.

SELECT Status, Count(Status) as TheCount
FROM [YourTable]
GROUP BY Status
