generating a sequential number

[pstein]

How can I design a report/form that will be able to generate the next
sequential number on this report/form upon printing.

Dead simple on a report. Just add a text box with properties:
Control Source =1
Running Sum Over Group
Format General Number

If you need to do it in a form, regardless of how the form is sorted or
filtered, see:
