I have a report which has records of students in various courses. It would
normally show say 400 entries for 80 students doing an average of 5 courses
each. I want to say on the report how many different students there are.
Normally, I'd just use "No. Students = " & Count([Surname]) , but this just
gives me 400 - how do I do a count of Distinct Surnames on a report?

Create a query that returns the distinct surnames. Then use DCount on that
query.

Hi Dixie,
In Help, look up TOP. You can create your query using the QBE format but
you must go to SQL view to add "TOP 1".
Note that I'd change the query to return Last, First, Middle in order to
catch repeating surnames. Otherwise you'd count all of the Smiths as one
person. :-)

Not sure how having TOP 1 is going to give the number of distinct Names.
And you don't actually have to go to the SQL view to set the TOP 1. Open the
query's Properties. One of the properties is Top (3rd one one down in Access
97, 4th one in Access 2003: don't have any other versions of Access
installed on this machine)

If I understand what you're trying to achieve this might do it?
SELECT surname, Count([studentID]) AS numberOfStudent s
FROM tableName
GROUP BY surname

Thanks for the hint Allen (see below). But I am already doing that
count as total records read (5)in the report footer. That count is
unduplicated for the record not for the field - student ID as I've
indicated in my sample report. I really need an unduplicated count of
the student ID only. I guess my subject was not clear.

Hi,
I have two fields in my report. One of them is school name(the school name appears multiple times). The other field is class test score. How would I go about calculating the test average for each school?(In a report)
I can calculate the average of all the schools but am having difficulty coding some kind of sort procedure for an average test score of all the classes in each school.
Does someone know the code for such a procedure?...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
