Start Detail Line Counter at 2, but increment each line by 1

[Guest]

I have a report that I need to list the detail records with a numbering
sequence starting at number 2, but incrementing only by 1. Can this be done
using the controlsource property of the text box used to display the number?

Create a text box to display the counter, and in the control source of this
box write

=IIf([CurrentRecord]=1,2,1)

So if the current record will be the first one it will start with two, other
wise it will add 1.

The text box RunningSum Property change it to "Over All"

I think you should use a detail counter text box (named
txtDtlCnt) with controls source set to =1, Running Sum set
to Over All and Visible = No.

Then in your number sequence text box, use the expression:
=txtDtlCnt + 1

Add an unbound control to the detail section.
Leave it's Control Source blank.
Name it "RowCount"

Code the Detail Print event:

Me.[RowCount] = Nz(Me.[RowCount], 1) + 1
