Jon,

I was very suprised by your statement 'Use the COUNT command with a range
to count all the distinct values.' Are you saying that if there were five
people in the case, all from the same town, that a count command would
return a value of 1? My understanding of the manual is that it would return
a value of 5--assuming that the value of the town code was between the
range specified.
