Solution 2

It is not possible to write such kind of query on Ms Access Table to have serial number at the time of executing query only. You have to add a column in Ms Access Table as describe in previous answer to get Serial Number in Output.

Solution 3

It IS actually possible to write SQL that returns a row number. http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/30187160/query-row-number.aspx[^]

Of course, it makes more sense to add an identity column.
