Numbered Form Items By Richard Rost ![]() ![]() Auto Number List Items in a Microsoft Access Form In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to number items in a continuous form without the convenience of a running sum property. You'll learn how to create a calculated field using the DCount function to display a sort order based on the CustomerID. We'll cover the use of functions like NZ to handle null values and explain the drawbacks of using DCount in larger datasets. This tutorial is designed for an expert level audience, bridging the gap between beginners and developers, and shows practical techniques for simple counting in smaller tables. MembersIn the extended cut, we will use a little VBA code to renumber the list based on whatever field the user sorts on. I will show you how to take into account any filters that are applied, ensuring the numbering is accurate and dynamic according to the sort order and filter conditions. Silver Members and up get access to view Extended Cut videos, when available. Gold Members can download the files from class plus get access to the Code Vault. If you're not a member, Join Today!
