Count and Compare 2 Tables

1
Hi all,

Wondered if you could help me. I need to compare the row counts of 2 tables but can't work out how to do it, everything I've tried has failed.

1 table is database A and the other table is in database B. I don't need to compare the contents of the tables just the number of rows.

Any help is great.

Thanks,

James
