Judy,
This may point you in the right direction:

SELECT count (*),
'PHONE ' as CONTACT
FROM ade_pole
WHERE contact_01 = '1phone'
OR contact_02 = '1phone'
OR contact_03 = '1phone'
OR contact_04 = '1phone'
UNION
SELECT count (*),
'PHONE GUY' as CONTACT
FROM ade_pole
WHERE contact_01 = '2phoneguy'
OR contact_02 = '2phoneguy'
OR contact_03 = '2phoneguy'
OR contact_04 = '2phoneguy'
UNION
SELECT count (*),
'CABLE ' as CONTACT
FROM ade_pole
WHERE contact_01 = '3cable'
OR contact_02 = '3cable'
OR contact_03 = '3cable'
OR contact_04 = '3cable'
UNION
SELECT count (*),
'CABLE GUY' as CONTACT
FROM ade_pole
WHERE contact_01 = '4cableguy'
OR contact_02 = '4cableguy'
OR contact_03 = '4cableguy'
OR contact_04 = '4cableguy'
UNION
SELECT count (*),
'PHONE AND CABLE' as CONTACT
FROM ade_pole
WHERE ( contact_01 = '1phone'
OR contact_02 = '1phone'
OR contact_03 = '1phone'
OR contact_04 = '1phone'
)
AND ( contact_01 = '3cable'
OR contact_02 = '3cable'
OR contact_03 = '3cable'
OR contact_04 = '3cable'
);
Hope it helps,
Paul
