A.D.  -
 
A while back you gave me instructions for how I can reverse count the records returned in a report.  That has been working great, but now I have been asked to group the records by state and show the reversed count by state.  (The report is used for reporting the winners of several contests, and is used in a script, so that the MC for the evening properly calls for the recipient of the prize.  5th Place, 4th Place, 3rd Place, 2nd Place, Winner, if some states only had just a couple of participants, then the results should be 2nd Place, Winner or some variation on that theme.)
 
You had me create an unbound textbox in my Report Header called txtTotRec.  Then in the format event of the report header, I have the following code:  txtTotRec = dcount("*", me.recordsource)  This tallies up the number of records in the query which is used as the control source of the report.
 
You then suggested that I place a hidden text box named txtCount, which has an _expression_ of =1 in the detail section.  In my first report, I set the running sum property to overall.  (I have also experimented with setting it to over group with no success)
 
The reverse count is displayed in a text box call txtRevCount located in the detail section.  The control source of that text box is :
=[txtTotRec] + 1-[txtCount]
 
It seems to me that I need to adjust how txtTotRec gets its information, but I am not sure how to adjust the process.  Therefore, If you have any suggestions for me, I would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
