    ' Retrieve the parent Accounts collection from the account
    Dim parentAccounts As Accounts
    Set parentAccounts = acc.Parent

    ' Display the total number of accounts in the parent collection
    MsgBox "Total accounts in the parent collection: " & parentAccounts.Count, vbInformation
End Sub
