I have a database tht deals with rented movies and I have query that captures films that are outstanding. The movies in this field and who has them are changeable, (when the person returns the films). What I wanted to do is to have a query based on that query to count the number of times a customer has brought in an outstanding film. However, I feel tht as the source query changes, so will the query tht I will group by. I want this to not occur. I wonder if there may be any method of capturing tht information without compromising the source query. Any help would be appreciated.
