Okay, it's really something I need to do in Access (don't ask why), but
there's no way I'm going to actually join an Access mailing list. :-)

select name from users;

gives me:

name
----
Steve
Bill

select count(name) from users;

gives me:

count
-----
2

Now, I really want the result from the first query, *AND* the count from
the second query.

select name, count(name) from users;

would be fine, even if it did give me the count too many times, but it
won't work.

So. how does one get both the data and the count as results in table format
from a query?
