Sequentially numbering records
The tables are, for example, tblContainers and tblItems. A container may
have one or more items, so they've been related this way. Generating the report that subdivides items by their container is easy. What I'd like to know is how can I sequentially number the items, 1 to n, regardless of the container they're in? That is, if I have 100 items packed in 5 containers, I want the report to show a unique Item No. next to each item... Thanks

Add a Calculated Control, with a Control Source of =1. then set its RunningSum property to "Over Group." Set the order in which you want the items to appear by some "real" field, if it's important, because all this does is sequentially number the items in whatever order they appear.

Hello Larry,
What if you wanted to use letters instead of numbers eg. a. b. c. d. etc. -- Deenos "Larry Linson" wrote: "Ricter" wrote in message news The tables are, for example, tblContainers and tblItems.

You could hide the =1 text box but reference it in another text box like:
