The problem is that any row number associated with a row isn't going to
be in order.  What you call row 1 may be stored in the database as row
1567.  It only becomes row 1 because your SQL statement selects it as row
1.  So you're forced to use properties of the result set, i.e.
#queryname.currentrow#.
