How to count 1 occurance of many records?

[SassyTexan]

Here is my question, I hope that I ask it properly. I have a related db, 1 file has many records and many of the records have the same information, however, I only need 1 occurance of each counted. I am at a complete loss as to how to accomplish this. It is probably quite obvious, but I am lost.
