Need "unique" ID for group of results

[perryclisbee via AccessMonster.com]

I have a query where I need all of the results to be assigned a single
tracking number.
Example: I run the query for all claims within a certain date parameter, for
10 different patient codes. This produces 50 rows of data. I want to give
this series of results the same identical tracking number that will show up
on each row in the field [track_no]. This will be stored in a table, as well
as being exported to Excel to be sent to a diff department for updates,
research etc. Later, I will query by this tracking number to check on the
updated results (my table is linked to the network via the claim number in my
table and the network table...).
So, the main purpose of the tracking number is to track a group of results.
Is there some way in my initial query to do this?

Thanks,

Perry

SELECT [Enter ID] AS ID, TableName.FieldName FROM TableName;

Wouldn't "certain date parameter" do the trick? This way, querying the
same parameter again would track the same group.

Maybe creating a table, say, Queried_Groups (dateParameter, id) would
give you a shortner id...

Use your select query to update the tracking number field, then use the
tracking number to select the records for your report.
