Been at this for two days now...
I have a customer database with various fields, two of which are:
ContactID (an autonumber field) & ReferralID (long Integer)
When a customer refers someone new, the new customer gets the referee's
ContactID in their ReferralID field. So someone who refers 10 people
will have 10 instances of their ContactID scattered down the ReferralID
column.
I am basically trying to count the number of referrals that a customer
has by counting all the instances of ReferralID which equal their
ContactID.
I have tried Dcount, Queries, VBA and SQL to no avail...
It sounds simple, but I can't figure it out! I saw somewhere that it
may have to do with the autonumber field not being a standard long
integer, but that may be off...
Thanks...

In the Query Builder, drag down into the grid ContactID and ReferralID.
Then, on the menu, View | Totals. In the "Total:" line, chose Count under
ContactID and Group By under ReferralID. Run the Query.

Thanks for the reply Larry.
I got that far, but the point I am stuck at is being able to display
the number of referrals on a form.
To clarify, I have a form with all the customer details (including a
textbox for the number of referrals they have had). I want a field on
the form to display the number of referrals that only the current
ContactID has (presumably from the output of the query).
Thanks again.

Got it!
for anyone else with the same trouble, I ran this:

Dear
I have a table with a Text field named "Attest". In that field I can
fill in 4 possibilities: A, B, C or D.
In a report based om that table I want to count how many times I
filled in something. With =Count() this works perfectly.
Now I want to count how many times I filled in A (or B, ...). Whatever
I try, this doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
Thank you!

Hallo,
Indeed, a count of a query with a group by function gives more records than
there are and so for-next structures don't function.
How is this to be mended.
Anyone? Everyone in fact.
Answers are greatly appreciated.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
