Inserting a text box in a data report to display a running number

In order to use the Data Report you will need to "connect" it to your source.  There are several ways to this, but it would depend on your database.  For example, in SQL Server you could use a temporary table with an IDENTITY column.

Give us more details and we can probably elaborate.

Hi acperkins... I use an Access database in my application.. each text box in the report is bound to a field in the used table, however there is one unbound textbox in the report and my question should have really been: Can I use an unbound textbox, and, if so, does the data report designer provide tools to enable an unbound textbox to run an incremental number like 1,2,3,4 ...?

As for my grading, I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I base my grades on the importance I give to my question.. however, I will read the EE guidelines..

And as for the  open questions I was only aware of one (dated 01/25/2004 ) which I felt did not generate a satisfactory answer, and was not sure what to do .... my impression was one should leave the question posted for a possible satisfactory response... if there are deadlines or other rules in this regard please advise  ....






 

Problem solved, thanks.....
