    Simple Q: How many different letters?
    Assume we have these:
    a,b,a,c,d,d

    How many different letters are there?

    Here's a simple zipped access file which includes a table of these letters, please make a simple query for that question.:o

    Again, we will NOT do your work for you. I tend to doubt that you spent some much time trying to find this solution because the answer is very simple. If you want to show me what you tried and may be able to help further.

    Believe me I even borrowed a book from library
    Code:
    SELECT Count(letters) AS CountOfletters
    FROM [SELECT DISTINCT letters FROM New; ]. AS T;
    It has less than 5% of the total marks... IT in Business course

    You are trying to hard.

    SELECT DISTINCT letters FROM New;

    Then look at the count.
