This won't work if you open the report with a where condition that filters
the records displayed in a report. I almost always use code like:

Dim strWhere as String
strWhere = "[DateField] Between #" & me.txtStart & "# AND #" & Me.txtEnd & "#"
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMyReport", acPreview, , strWhere

Using DCount() will not understand the where condition so it is very
possible the displayed value will be greater than the actual number of
records returned in the report.

Hello Ray,

DCount("*","NameOfYourQuery") will give you the number of records in
NameOfYourQuery. Add an unbound textbox to your report and put =
DCount("*","NameOfYourQuery") in the control source.

Hi all,

In the detail section of a report I want to display the number of records
a
query returns.

Example query named "support"
In the report I want to display Support = "number of records in query"
and then continue with the number of records in other querys with
different
names.

Thank you for your assistance.
