I'm stumped....  Please help...

If I issue this command.
SELECT DISTINCT VHIDTE,count(*) FROM
plpvh WHERE VHDIVN = '500'
GROUP BY vhidte

I get this....
 2/11/2002            533
 2/21/2002            112
 2/26/2002            210
 3/08/2002            173
 3/13/2002            322
 3/22/2002            247
 3/27/2002            292
 4/04/2002            266

        But now, All I want is the number of different Dates, so in this
example I would like Count(*) set to : 8

        Is that possible, In one SQL statement?

        Thanks, TIm
