Possible to create report that counts field values

[scalumni]

Hi.

I have a school alumni database which, among other uses, we use to publish a quarterly newsletter.

I would like to generate a report that would tell me the total occurances of certain zipcode values which reside in a zipcode field. For example, after sorting the database to show only those records who recieve the newsletter, I would like to know how many 95060, 95062, 95066 values occurred (both individually and in aggregate) and, ideally, output it to a report.

Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction (I'm assuming I should start with Scriptmaker)?

thanks,

Teresa

I'm pretty new to this, but I think you could make a summary field, that gives a count of Zip code. Then place this field in a subsummary part when sorted by zip code, and then look at it in preview mode.
