Grouping the data

Question

Hello team,
I have come up with a question at my work.
I have a table that has several fields. When I group the data with one field, I get some counts which are equal to the original count of field before grouping. As I add more fields to the query and I add to my grouping, the my total count wouldn't be equal
to the original count of the column.
Can somebody please this?
What query can take care of this?
I generated this select statement, but it didn't work.
SELECT DISTINCT c.code, c.Approved, Year(b.Date) AS [Year], Month(b.Date) AS [Month]
FROM (SELECT a.Code, Sum(a.Approved) AS Approved FROM [MyTable1] AS a WHERE (((a.Approved)>0)) GROUP BY a.Code) 
AS c INNER JOIN [MyTable2] AS b ON c. code = b. Code;

Hi GGGGGNNNNN,
I am not bale to understand the count of field means. Did it mean the numbers of records? If I understand correctly, I think the result is expected since the group by clause is changed.
Here are some articles about SQL in Access for your reference:
SELECT Statement (Microsoft Access SQL)
GROUP BY Clause (Microsoft Access SQL)
