Counting entries on report

[Tony]

My report, which is fed from a main query, has a field in which I have a code
for their security clearance, ie S=secret, TS=Top Secret, D=Denied, R=Revoked.

The report, depending upon which department I select to show, will show a
list of records ranging from 20 to 700 with a mixture of the above codes.

WHAT I WANT: At the bottom of the report I want the following COUNT style
box:
Secret (total number of secret for that report)
Top Secret (total number of TS for that report)
Denied (total number...)
Revoked (total number...)

Thank you ahead of time for whomever offers a solution.

In the Report Footer section add an unbound control.
Set it's control source to:
=Sum(IIf([ClearanceField] = "S",1,0))

Do similar for each of the other classifications.
