Nick,
You don't need a query to do that, all you need is a DLookup function like:
DCount("*","MyTable", "[Field1] Like '*SearchString*'")
which will return the number of records in table MyTable where the test
"SearchString" is contained in field Field1.
HTH,

To whom it may concern
Can you tell me how I can create an access query which
will look in a column and produce a count of how
frequently a piece of text or a number occurs within a
column of a Access table.
Thanks
