Is it possible to add a unique number after each refreshment
to my report ? Crystal report version 8.5
 
You can show the date and time, found on Special Fields in the Field Explorer. Does that help?

date and time is an option . How can i generate the sequence number in crystal 10 ?
 
One way is to create or buy a UFL that can write/read to an ini file. Then, create a formula that reads the value from the ini file, increments it by 1, writes the new value to the ini file, and displays it.

For a list of 3rd-party Crystal tools, see:
My "CUT Light" UFL provides this type of functionality with 2 of its functions: GetINIValue() & SetINIValue().

You can use a date / time to sequence, something like
Code:
ToText({your.date}, "yyyyMMddHHmmss")
