Ranking Problem in Access

[Indra Lahiry]

I have tried to rank records in Access Table with some criteria.
In a School DB the will be on the basis of Marks, but the Criteria is the student should be ranked only their own CLASS and SEC.
I have tried this like....
SELECT School.ID, School.NAME, School.SCHOOL, School.CLASS, School.SEC, School.MARKS, (SELECT Count(*) FROM School_Marks AS [XX] WHERE [XX].SCHOOL = School_Marks.SC HOOL AND [XX].CLASS = School_Marks.CL ASS AND [XX].SEC = School_Marks.SE C AND [XX].MARKS > School_Marks.MA RKS) AS Rank

Now there is some problem Like......

100 1
99 2
99 2
98 4
98 4
97 6
97 6

100 1
99 2
99 2

Do the ranking on a distinct version and then join that back to the main table.
