Hi, i'm struggling to get this query to run, could someone tell me the correct syntax for this type of command. Thanks

SELECT * FROM(
SELECT COUNT (id) as helm FROM tblHELMAccounts,
SELECT COUNT (id) as pop3 FROM tblPOP3Accounts,
SELECT COUNT (id) as sqldb FROM tblSQLDatabases,
SELECT COUNT (id) as google FROM tblGoogleAccounts
)

The above will put them into separate columns. If you instead want them as separate rows in one column, you could do it like this instead:

SELECT 'HELMAccounts' AS TableName, (Query1) AS TableCount
UNION ALL
SELECT ..., (Query2)
UNION ALL
...

If you want in separate columns,


SELECT 
	COUNT (id) as helm ,
	pop3  =(SELECT COUNT ([id]) FROM tblPOP3Accounts),
	sqldb =(SELECT COUNT ([id]) FROM tblSQLDatabases),
	google=(SELECT COUNT ([id]) FROM tblGoogleAccounts)
FROM tblHELMAccounts
