Drillthrough report using "Jump to URL" quits working when Parent Report Parameter values are changed

a count field in a query?
Hello, I have a query in which I would like to create a field which increments by 1 for each record selected, so if there are 10 records selected by the query, this column would show numbers 1 to 10.

Unresponsive Query Wizard
Hi there, I have an Excel 2003 user who is using a spreadsheet that pulls data from our SQL server. When he opens it and refreshes the data it is fine, it pulls the current data, but when he tries to edit the query, the Query Wizard does not appear, he can see it on the task bar, but when he switches focus using task manager everything is greyed out and nothing works. I have tested the file from my computer and it is fine, which suggests a problem with his machine or installation. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm using group by for the SS and SC which works great, but I'm not sure how to tell it to add up the others.
