Cheers,

let's say we have a report based off a query, which would yield:

id  Part no    service performed  
10  ASDF      CLEAN
10  ASDF       REPAIR
13  ÑLKJ       CLEAN
13  ÑLKJ       REPAIR

I know that if I have a textbox, and if I set the control source to =1 and
the runningsum property to over group it would give me a line number for each
record, ie

No   id       Part no    service performed  
1      10      ASDF      CLEAN
2      10      ASDF       REPAIR
3      13      ÑLKJ       CLEAN
4      13    ÑLKJ       REPAIR

However, I need it to be (for clarity reasons)

No   id   Part no    service performed  
1      10  ASDF      CLEAN
       10  ASDF       REPAIR
2      13  ÑLKJ       CLEAN
       13  ÑLKJ       REPAIR

and so on...

a "unique record counter" for the id field

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks in advance.

I would try the following.

Add a group that groups on the ID and put textbox in the group with its
source as =1 and overall.  Name the control txtCountID
Set the visible property of the Group to No

Add a control (txtShowCount) to the detail section that refers to
txtCountID as its source.  Set the controls hide duplicates property to Yes.

I think that will work.  If not, post back and we can try a variation on
this where you print the group header (with all the fields that are in
the detail for the first record) and don't print the first record in the
detail section for each group.

Sorry if this is taken as a double posting, just trying to clarify what my
mate John posted earlier:

"I would try the following.

Add a group that groups on the ID and put textbox in the group *HEADER* with
its
source as =1 and overall.  Name the control txtCountID
Set the visible property of the Group *HEADER* to No"

Hope someone makes this a sticky, ;)

Regards,

Yoboy
