[AccessD] Select Count(*) from different tables

That is one potential approach but not the one I had in mind. What I had in
mind was more like this. Assume BE1 and BE2, both linked to the FE that does
this.
Select Count(*) From BE1.Table1, Count(*) From BE2.T1
Select Count(*) From BE1.Table2, Count(*) From BE2.T2

Actually, this is not necessary since there are queries that use the
non-duplicate thingie to return the rows not present in BE2 that are present
in BE1. I then use this query result to do an append query to BE2. 
At this moment, I can do what I need to do using Dcount(), but it sucks, in
terms of performance. It works, but it is SLOW.
For each pair of tables (call the abstract T1_DS and T1), I want the
rowcount from each and to report the difference. And I want to do these
differences for all the tables of interest. Assume about 25 pairs of tables.
The Union approach gives me rows. I want columns, because I want to display
the results on one "row" of one results form.

Not sure quite what you mean bye compair the count of "each pair of tables"

Is this what you are talking about?
 
SELECT  "AssessID_Notes" as QName,  Count(*) 
 FROM [AssessID_Notes_DS Without Matching AssessID_Notes],

UNION

SELECT "Bill_Time_Machine",  Count(*) 
 FROM [Bill_Time_Machine_DS Without Matching Bill_Time_Machine])

UNION

SELECT "Description","Count(*)
FROM [qryMyNextQuery]
