Auto Increment a Numerical Filename when a Form is Submitted

[JimmyG]

I am creating my first Infopath form. The form I am creating includes a
field called "Request Number" that I would like to use as the filename when
the completed form is submitted. I would like this field (which is
protected) to be populated to the next "Request Number" / filename when a
user opens the form to fill it out. Is there a way to do this?

I created a webservice that returns the next number from a SQL Server table
via a SQL stored proc.

You need a database server to be able to do this.

Thank you. That is the approach I am taking.
