Report Rookie- record count

[Mike Mueller]

I have a simple report of a roster. I just want to add the
total count of members to the footer line. I thought it
would be simple, but my Help function is being funky. How
do I access this number?

Create a control in the footer and make its ControlSource -
=Count(*)

PS, if you make a report with the wizard, you can choose
summarization options.

Pat,
Thank you for the quick response. I am still on 2000,
and I tried the wizard earlier and never got summarization
options. I also tried creating a label ans setting the
source to =Count(*) and it displays #err on the report.

You need to create a textbox, not a label.

I meant textbox. I did find the problem on my own via
MVPS.org and Dev Ashish's site. The control was in the page
footer. I did as he suggested by creating the control
elsewhere and setting the control in the footer to equal the
first textbox.
