This is a summary of the count completed by Joe, Mike, and me on May 10. [/ QUOTE ] edit- if you take away Joe and Mike that tells you what you need to do. Like "This is a summary of the count completed by me on May 10."

Thanks all. I thought it was "me", but in an email draft I sent out, one guy wrote back to tell me it should be "myself." [/ QUOTE ] What a jackass!

Re: Grammar help
It's definitely "me", but the "This" hanging there all by itself at the beginning is not that great.

This is a summary of the count completed by Joe, Mike, and me on May 10. -OR- This is a summary of the count completed by Joe, Mike, and myself on May 10. [/ QUOTE ] What the hell are they teaching you kids in english class these days? the problem is that you're set on using 'passive voice' instead of 'active voice'. Passive voice is a sentance or clause structure that has the subject following the predicate, such as "Water was drank by Jon" as opposed to the more forceful, clear, and concise active voice "Jon drank the water." Always use active voice until you're a good enough writer to effectivly use the other. also, any number under 20 should be spelled out, use numerals for higher numbers. This sentance should be: "Joe, Mike, and I completed this summary of the count on the tenth of May."
