Hi John,

maybe it's because you are counting "Company", whereas you should be counting "Invoices"?

Try:

SELECT Company, COUNT(Invoice) as InvCount;
   FROM X1;
   GROUP BY 1

>I want to know how many invoices there are for each company.
>select company from invoices into cursor X1
>select Company, Cnt(Company)as Invoices from X1 group by 1
>select Company, count(Company)as Invoices from X1 group by 1
>
>The above all produce 1 per company even though some comapnies have 100.
>
>
>select company, 1 as Inv from invoices into cursor X1
>select Company, sum(Inv) rom X1 group by 1
>
>Also, produces 1 per company.
>
>Question 1: Why do the above not work?
>Question2: How can I get the number of invoices per company with an SQL select?
