Hi,

I have a report with various field entries, I want to be able to count upwards from one (being the first record) to indicate a month to date number.

Any ideaS?

Since this is in reports, you can have a textbox with a control source of

=1

and its running sum property set appropriately.

Is there a way to count the total number of record in a report in the page footer?

=Count("*")

will work in the report footer.

I just get #error

Sounds like it's in the page footer rather than the report footer. You typically have to use code to get data like that in page footers.

Even in the report foot, it asks me for a paremeter value

Exactly what do you have as a control source?
