Numbering each line in a report

[Galphanore]

Is it possible to number the lines in a report?

Make a numbered query and base your report on that.

Well you have asked a very general question, and in a very general way The answer is yes, although there are numerous situations I can think of where the answer would be no.

I suggest you have a look at this example on Roger Carlson's site. the example shows you how to add numbers to a query. This would be the first step, then you could use the query to generate your report.

You could also do this,

create a field in the detail line on the data tab set its control source as = 1
and set running sum to overall

You can number each data line with a field containing "=1" without the quotes and it's "Running Sum" property set to "Yes," again without the quotes.
