Default Need to Count the number of times a value occurs within a dt range

I have a spreadsheet that tracks the number of times specific events occur
over a large period of time.

The first things I needed to do on my summary tab was count the number of
occurences (all) during a specific time frame- I decided to go by months. So
what I did was set up a new worksheet and called it summary.

In Column A, I created a list of "start dates", and in Column B, "end
dates". Then in column C I wrote the following in order to get Excel to go
to the "Data" tab and calculate how many occurences fell within this date
range.

"=-COUNT(Data!$A$2:$A$2000)+COUNTIF(Data!$A$2:$A$2000 ,"="&A3)+COUNTIF(Data!$A$2:$A$2000,"<"&B3)"

Now what I need to do is drill a little deeper. Column E of the "Data"
worksheet is where the specific type of occurence is listed. It can be one
of 4 types. For the sake of this question- I'll stick with one type, which
is labeled "Recordable".

What I need to do is come up with a function in Cell D1 of the "Summary"
worksheet tab that looks at A1:A2000 and D1:D2000 in the "Data" tab, and will
let me know how many occurences of "Recordable" (D1:2000) Happened within the
date range of 1/1/2007 and 2/1/2007, found in (A1:A2000) of the Data tab.

Help?
