Count 1, 2, 3 down a report

[Guest]

I have a report of students that took a class. In my query it shows their name/ssn and what course the took (along with the credit they received)

How do I make the report count down the side of each like
1. Adam
courses/credi
2. Johnso
courses/credi
3. Smit
courses/credi
courses/credi
etc.....

I would really like to count the name at the top of the report (I counted how many times a class was taken (=count(courseNum)) and I summed the credit given (=sum(credit)), but when I try to count the SSN or count the NAME, it gives me the number of times that the SSN or name showed up in the query which is equal to how many courses were given

Thanks in advance.

One easy way is to add a group header.
Basically, in the details section you'd have the fields
for courses/credit. In the header, add the student's
name field.

Create a textbox next to the name. Set the control source to =1 and set the
RunningSum property to either Over Group or Over All, depending.
