Lisa, You can get counts ( distinct and totals) by sorting, grouping and using the statistics on the ARSystem report section of the user tool. To get a distinct list as a report do not select any fields. Go straight to the Sort tab and sort on your field of choice and select the Group checkbox. Next using the Statistics tab you can enter the operation, you want count. In the Label field you will need to type in the field name with $'s. You can find the field name in the Compute on dropdown. It will be the field name you used for the Sort operation. Also make sure you select that filed name in the Compute on dropdown. Add it to the report with the Add Before button and save your report. When run against your form you will get a distinct list of the sorted field. Example Form A has records ID Location 0001 North 0002 North 0003 East 0004 South 0005 West 0006 Giraffe Your report sort will be on Location and grouped The Statistics operation will be count and the Label will be $Location$ : (the space and colon : separates the count from your locations.) So your report will be East :1 Giraffe :1 North :2 South :1 West :1 HTH,
