Continuous Forms Tally on Checkboxes

I am looking for the best way to accomplish the following continuous
forms concept.

There are Five Groups: A, B, C, D, E


Each group has eight Members: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h


Each Member is seen as a row in a continuous form like:

A a
A b
A c
..
..
..
A h
B a
B b
..
..
..
Each row (member) has a bound checkbox and a lable: lblCounter

The behavior that I am looking for is -- when you click the checkbox
for any group, the count for that group is reflected in lblCounter.

Using Group A as an example, if you check member A b (and it is the
only member of that group selected) then A b's lable shows "1" -- if
you then select member A g the label updates to "2" and so on until
your reach "4". If you de-select a member, it's label value
for that group reduces by 1.

If you exceed "4" checks for a group the number should briefly turns
into a message like "All
4 Selected" and then undo the check.

I have a feeling that as simple as this sounds this is difficult task
with continuous forms.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Get the count from the underlying table rather than from the continuous form's
recordsetclone. Something like -

Sub CheckBoxControl_AfterUpdate()
Dim intChecked As Integer
Dim strGroup As String

Me.Dirty = False
strGroup = Me.Group
intChecked = Abs(DSum("CheckBoxField","tblMyTable","[Group]=" & Chr(34) &
strGroup & Chr(34)))

If intChecked >4 Then
Beep
MsgBox "All 4 Selected", vbInformation + vbOkOnly
Me.CheckBox = False
Me.Dirty = False
intChecked = intChecked - 1
End If

Me.lblCounter.Caption = intChecked

End Sub
