Distinct Count in Access 2002 report

Helllloooo...
For the life of me I cannot get a distinct count in an Access report.
I have numerous order ID entries and just want each to be counted only once.
Example:
1331
1331
1331
1331
----
1

1332
1332
------
1

1333
1333
1333
-----
1

And then tally up the number of unique orders (in this case , 3) at the bottom of report.

The report itself is built from a query.
I've tried every which way and cannot get it. It seems so easy!
Thanks-

Cyberkiwi,
That is sort-of-what-I thought from digging around.
I am out the door- but will try the subquery later at home or tomorrow. Not exactly sure how to do that? Do I place it in the query that the report is built off of (or one of the queries that make that query?)
Thanks!

Well, after a bit of adjustments on the report, I was able to get to the number I needed by using the group by OrderID suggestion offered by boag. Thank you so much for your time and patience!
great
