Based on your description, it looks a little like you could use a totals
query, grouping on the "type" and counting the records. Check Access HELP
for "totals query".

By the way, none of your example records are simply "ok", so how are you
getting "ok 2"?

i have done it again, there are two instances were 2 x "ok" appear in the
fault column against "iron", would you be able to steer me with a little more
