Hi,

I'm trying to generate sequential numbers on an Access query, if I have 100 records I would like to add a column that have row 1 trough row 100:

record name

1 mike
2 joe
3 john

I can do it in SQL but I don't know how to do it in Access, I would like to convert this SQL to access:

DECLARE @Seq INT
    SET @Seq = 0254
UPDATE TABLENAME
   SET @Seq = Number = @Seq+1

Thanks

I'm not sure if this will help, but if you are using this on a report there is a way to generate it on the report, independent of the query. Let me know if this is what you are trying to do, and I'll post the solution, otherwise....

Anyone else have any ideas?

How can i do it in a report?

Alright...

On your report, create an unbound textbox.

Change the Running Sum property (Under the DATA tab) to Over Group or Over All.

That should do it for you!

I got this from the Access CookBook, which I highly recommend if you are working in Access for a significant portion of your job.

In order to add Sequential Number into column we have to Insert New AutoIncrement Column in Design View.
After that we need to insert data using SQL.
ie: INSERT INTO <tableName1> VALUES(F1,F2...) as SELECT * from <tableName2>
In above SQL We not need to Insert AutoIncrement Column Name.
The Starting Value of AutoIncrement Field we can set at the Design time while adding a New column using Column Properties.
