Hi,
Iam having trouble adding s.nos to the group header.
The group header has one or more rows in them. I want to have a s.no incremented only on the group header, ignoring the records it contains.
I added a textbox and set the control souce to =count([Member]![fName]) and set the running sum to Over group.
But it starts counting the GH+REC1+REC2+REC3...
So if first group has 2 records, the next group has s.no. 4?!? i.e GH+REC1+REC2.
Iam attaching a sample proj for your examination.

Have a look at the Tables & Quries as well

Thanks in advance...

Try =1!

If you set the control source to =1 and sum Over All, it just might be what you are after?

coupl of more things..
How to add ), . (i.e brackets, dot) after the sno. so generated above.
How to ensure no sno is displayed if there is only one record within the Group city

mycontrol.text = "(" & avalue & ")"

personally If it were me I'd probably do the running totals myself in code.. but then I'm a bit of a code junkie (read unreconstructed developer) so alwasy tend to use code rather than them there newfangled things in Access

to do it in code is relatively trivial
declare a global variable to carry the totals in the report
set that variable to zero every time a new group is started
add one to that variable every time a new detail is formatted
transfer the value to a control on the group footer in its format event

Thankz healdem,
but I don't see any Text property in the properties???

Even I would love to do it that way. But my exposure in VBA pretty low/non existent, not sure how to implement your steps detailed above. A lil code snippet would help.

the relevant property may be .value

if thats not right then I'd suggest you stop the code in debug mode and iterate through the properties fro the relevant item and see what is actually stored in each property, next time round you will be a hardened old pro capable of using what ever property as required
