In a report you can create a running sum field that breaks on the order
number.

Does your table have an autonumber field? Such as OrderId? If so, you
could use DCount() to find all records with a matching order number
where the OrderID aunumber is less/equal the currecnt autonumber. Ex:
RecNum : DCount("OrderID ","OrdersTable" ,"OrderNumbe r = " & _
[OrderNumber] And OrderID <= " & [OrderID])
This adds overhead to your program.

Text field values need to be wrapped in single-quotes:
DCount("OrderID ","Orders","Ord erNumber = '" & [OrderNumber] & "' And
OrderID <= " & [OrderID])
