[AccessD] Counting group headers in a report (FAQ)

...  I've done this a zillion times....
 
A colleague asked me how to get a count of the group headers in report.
He has a query based report that has a single group header/footer and
wants just the summary report, so he makes the group header and detail
sections invisible (a neat trick to get a quick summary report that I'd
never thought of by the way.).  Now he just wants to count the group
footers and put that count into the report footer.
 
So I just popped an unbound textbox into the footer, named it grpcnt and
set its value to =1 and in the report footer I put another unbound
textbox with value =Sum([grpcnt]).  I am sure I've done this before!!!  
 
A97 thinks that [grpcnt] is some type of parameter for the report and
pops up a parameter entry form when I run the report.
 
Erstwhile MSAccess guru exits stage left with egg on face and begs
AccessD'ers for the solution....
