Hello Again,

I want to assign a number to each record that will be part of a shipping
number.  I want the number value to count up until the contract number
changes. Then, I want the number to go back to 1 and start counting up again
until the next contract change.

For example

Contract 1111111 Box 1 of 2 Number Value: 1
Contract 1111111 Box 2 of 2 Number Value: 2
Contract 1111111 Skid 1 of 1 Number value: 3
Contract 2222222 Box 1 of 2 Number value: 1
Contract 2222222 Box 2 of 2 Number value: 2
Contract 2222222 Skid 1 of 1 Number value: 3
Contract 2222222 Bundle 1 of 2 Number value: 4
Contract 2222222 Bundle 2 of 2 Number value: 5
.
.
.

I posted this question a few days ago and was told to use the DCount()
function with Contract_Number as my criteria.  I tried that in a query, but
my value is always the total number of records:

Contract 1111111 Box 1 of 2 Number Value: 8
Contract 1111111 Box 2 of 2 Number Value: 8
Contract 1111111 Skid 1 of 1 Number value: 8
Contract 2222222 Box 1 of 2 Number value: 8
Contract 2222222 Box 2 of 2 Number value: 8
Contract 2222222 Skid 1 of 1 Number value: 8
Contract 2222222 Bundle 1 of 2 Number value: 8
Contract 2222222 Bundle 2 of 2 Number value: 8

The DCount might be the solution, but I need some help setting up the
expression, because I am not doing it right.  I need this number value for a
shipping code for a company we do business with.  They have a specific
format they use, and I have to stick with it.  When I get this last number,
I will use concatenate to join all the parts of the shipping code. Can I set
this up in a table, or will I need to run a query? Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Chad
