CU*BASE has lots of ways to analyze the number of members in your database, but the question is more complicated than you might think at first glance!  Check out the article published in CUSO Magazine (see link below) for a great outline of 5 different methods you might choose to use, all of which will give you a slightly different count.  

Following are some of our favorite CU*BASE tools for counting and analyzing members.  Just remember that each of these tools has a different purpose.  The method used for counting will depend on what's included, what's excluded, how members with multiple members accounts are handled, and so on.  In other words, the totals might not match exactly from one tool to the other.
