First, are you talking about Microsoft Access, the database program or
Microsoft Excel, the spreadsheet program?

In Access we talk about records not rows.

There are several approaches, maybe you can tell us a little more about
what you are doing.

Assuming Access, there is a built in function call Autonumber that will
number each record. However normally you don't want to use this for a
number someone will be looking at, since it is not guaranteed to be
consecutive all the time.

Do you want to number records that are already there or do you want to
number new records as they are added. Will more than one person be using
the database at the same time?
