    I have two tables, one for Orders and then an Assiged Parcels table which can have multiple records attached to an Order. In the Order table is column Pieces, which must match the count for Assigned Parcels.

    Here is my code. What am I doing wrong?

    It's an Order of Evaluation issue. You use the WHERE clause to filter what goes into the aggregation, then you use the HAVING clause to filter the results of the aggregation, like so:

    SELECT

    PA.OrderID,

    COUNT(*) AS 'TotalParcels'

    FROM

    tblParcelAssigned as PA

    INNER JOIN

    tblOrder AS O

    ONO.OrderID = PA.OrderID

    WHERE

    PA.Type = 2

    HAVING

    o.Pieces <> Count(*)

    GROUP BY

    PA.OrderID

    ORDER BY

    PA.OrderID

    DESC

    I also need to make the Orders table 'clickable' in the results.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this.
