Line Numbers 1

[stevesd]

Does anyone know how to make line numbers appear
before each line of detail for a CR8 report? It seems simple but not obvious how to do it.
Thanks.

Try recordnumber from special fields

Thanks, man.
I just slapped my forehead! I will sure try.

Using Recordnumber will only work if all records are used
(ie...there is no further filtering in a record select)

Another method is to put a small formula called LineCount in the detail line

>********************** start ***************<

numbervar linecounter;

// remove this if an initializing formula is used.
if OnFirstRecord then linecounter := 0;

linecounter := linecounter + 1

linecounter;

>********************** end ***************<

this will increment and display linenumber

you can get fancy and set lincounter to zero at the start of each group to get a line count within each group with an initializing formula
