>>I would like to create a SQL query in which one column contains a counter that increments by one for each record in the query result. This would be just like the count function which can be set for a report in the report designer. However I can't seem to find any function that would generate the numbers into the query result. As this must have come up at other times, I am hoping that some one might be able to give me an idea in this regard.

Thanks Dan,

I guess I just need to be pointed in the right direction. A scan ... endscan should do it.
