Looks like you were missing one single quote for the second criteria.

u mean instead of "new'" i need to use "new"'" ?

DCount("Field1";"Form";"status1='" & "rejected" & "' and "status2"="new''")
i think i dont get where exactly i lost a quote. it didn't work though

If 'rejected' and 'new' are fix string literals (so no variables or controls) then you can use this:

=Nz(DCount("Field1";"Form";"status1='rejected' and status2='new'");0)

Edit: Please try to use code blocks in your postings. This makes code much more readable for us (see my code above).

No, I meant:

... =" & "'new'"

or better yet:

... ='" & "new" & "'"

Put the criteria into a string variable.
Debug.print that until you get it correct.
Then use that variable in the function.
