I'm SO new in Access that saying I'm a beginner is excruciatingly charitable
-- I have a report built from a Query where I've selected just customers for
one employee (i.e., Adams) -- I want a total of how many entries (customers)
are on this report. I've tried "=count([FieldNameofEmployee])" and all kinds
of crazy alternates that I saw as suggestionns from other people posting
similar problems -- but nothing -- regardless what I put, I relentlessly get
"#error" --- this is going to drive me to drink............
 
Where is this text box?

In report design view, make sure the text box is in the Report Footer or a
group footer, not in the Page Footer section.

For the Control Source, try:
=Count("*")

Make sure the name of this text box is not the same as any of the fields in
the report. (The Name is on the Other tab of the Properties box.)
