Numbering with added text to it

[stanley721]

I have a report that is based on a query. It is used to write tests. So I populate a table with a certain number of questions and the report basically makes a test with the questions numbered. In the past I've used the =1 and it does what I want. But now I have multiple test numbers and I want that text or test number to appear before the question number as follows: "3-1." , "3-2." , and so on. Without just adding a simple text box in front of the other text box with the =1 int it, is there a better way. Every time I've tried what I've found out there from microsoft, it came up blank or gave me a syntax error. I hope all that makes sense.

Not understanding why what you've been doing no longer serves. Do you want the question sequence number to start over for each test number? Possibly set up a test number group section and do the sequence number over the group.

I may have 9 or 10 or 100 questions. If I put 2 text boxes side-by-side, the spacing sometimes becomes an issue (3-1. or 3- 1.), depending on how many test questions are included. So to make it standard all the time, I would like for all the info in one box. It is mainly just a formatting issue, wanting it to look neat.

Could do the sequence count in one textbox (can be hidden) then in another textbox concatenate the sequence with the test number.
