I receive an error 3464 when I put =count(*) in the controlsource of a
textbox on the report header. The error is thrown at the filter
created for the report when I docmd openreport. The error is not
thrown if the =count(*) is not used. I want the textbox in the header
of the report to show the number of records in the report.

Hello Seeker,

Try using the following:

=Count([RecordID])

I've never used the * symbol in a function before,
only due to the fact that I've never thought about
it before.

Anyway, I have always used the RecordID, or another
field, in the function. Perhaps by using the * symbol,
Access has trouble with it.

Regards,

Ray
