How do I number records in a form?

I've used the RunningSum feature in reports to number each record and then
use conditional formatting to make every other line shaded. Is there
anything similar for forms?

numbering of Forms, SubForms and Queries.

Here's an update to the Serialize function by Peter Schroeder:

Good to hear. FWIW, here's the version I came up with today, based off of
your code and Ken's(Getz) suggestion, with a few changes:


Function Serialize(qryname As String, keyname As String, keyvalue) As Long

Dim rs As Recordset


On Error GoTo Err_Serialize

Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(qryname, dbOpenDynaset, dbReadOnly)

rs.FindFirst Application.BuildCriteria(keyname, rs.Fields(keyname).Type,
keyvalue)

Serialize = Nz(rs.AbsolutePosition, -1) + 1


Err_Serialize:

rs.Close

Set rs = Nothing

End Function
