Running total based on beginning parameter value

I am trying to figure out the following:

My users need to be able to input a beginning number through a parameter and then number the rows in the detail section starting at that number. ie. if the beginning parameter number is 50 then the first row would be 50 , next 51 next 52 and so on. I have tried doing this with setting a parameter field and then writing a formula:

WhilePrintingRecords;

If {?InheritanceTaxNumber} = Previous({?InheritanceTaxNumber}) Then

NumberVar MyRunningTotal := tonumber({?InheritanceTaxNumber}) + 1;

MyRunningTotal;

All this does is incremate the parameter {?InheritanceTaxNumber} by 1 for every row.

Has anyone tried doing something similar to this and can give me some feedback?

Thanks in advance

Corinne
