Adding Sequential Numbers to a Report








 
 

The adding of sequential numbers to a report is the answer to one of the questions I have received in the past. I have made the assumption that if one person asks the question then it is likely others also wish to know the answer to the question.

Question

How do I get serial line numbers to appear on a report in Access?

Answer

To add serial (sequential) numbers for a report:

Add an unbound text box to the design section of the report;

Then, open the text box properties (right click and select properties);

Set the following under the ‘Data’ tab:

Control source '=1'

Running Sum = 'Over Group’ if you wish to count the records in each group

OR

Running Sum = 'Over All' if you wish to display consecutive numbers for all the records.
