I am trying to create a sequential number field in a query. I cant use an auto number for the fact that i am combining multiple tables. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Do you simply need this for a report or do you need a permanent relationship between the data and the number?
 
Just for a report
 
You can simply add a non-bound text box in the detail and set it's default value to 1 and then turn on the running sum option.
 
On the data tab of the text box properties.
 
one last stupid question... where do I set the default number to one. I dont see it in the property box.
 
There is one last thing I would like to learn from the Master... I am now trying to create a final count of that sequential column. In the Report Footer I have the following code in an unbound text box. =Count([Number]). "[Number]" is what I called the sequential column, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
 
Can you simply count any other fld in the report?
 
Now you're just giving me the big head... Whoops!

Query by form PLEASE HELP

I have a form that has a bunch of unbound fields on it. I have a query that is tied to the fields of the form. The purpose is the form is a filter and when you type something in it goes through the query and then creates a report. The form is not bound to anything. Is there a way to have a list box in the form that has a list of information that people can choose multiple records from the list box and have it go through the query?

The only way that I know to do this is to build the sql statement on the fly by looping through the selcted items in the list box and use them as criteria...
 
I notice it's not going through any query. so, how would that work in my situation where all the other unbound fields are going through a query?
