Hello everybody! I am retrieving records from a db, ordering them by a date field. The users would like to have the records numbered on the fly, so that if a record with an earlier date is entered, the returned data will be renumbered to reflect the change.
I know how to use the FormName.DataSource.Recordset.RecordCount to get the total number of records, but I can't seem to figure out how to use that value in my BeforeShowRow statement to create a label with a value that I can increment for each row. Am I clear? I want to simply number the records once they've been retrieved in date order.
Any help is appreciated, as always...

I'm not sure how you'd use the FormName.DataSource.Recordset.RecordCount because then you would start the counter with your last record and increase it?
I imagine that you'd rather want to start with #1 (or any other number) instead of the total/count, and then increase it.
Therefore create a global variable that contains "1", like:
MyCount = 1
Then display it in the Label and increase it in the Before Show event.
You can create global variables by placing them outside of functions or events, for example between 2 events, or at the beginning of the _events.asp file, or at the beginning of Page.asp.

Doink! Of course, that's so simple.
Thank you.
