summary in report

[Cretin]

I am using access 2003. I have created a projects database. That all went fine. I have then created a report. I was able to do everything except I have one issue. In the report footer I am creating a summary. I was able to display a count of the total number of projects. However in each record there is a field called status. The field will usually say approved or not approved. Is what I need to do is in the summary I would like to display a count of how many issues were approved and how many were not aspproved. I am having a heck of a time with this. Any suggestions would be helpful.

You can use text boxes with a control sources like:
=Sum(Abs(status="approved"))
=Sum(Abs(status="not approved"))
