Automatically Generate number

[Kamlesh]

Is there a way to have Infopath 2007 automatically generate a number?
I would like to submit the case forms to a sharepoint v3 form
library. I would also like to have the form generate the case number.
The case numbers go as follows: 06-00001, 06-00002, 06-00003 etc...
Thanks ...

Hello Kamlesh

You should use code to automatically generate a number. Also do you want to
save the forms in sharepoint with this case number you generate?

Hi,

Without the number being generated from a web service or a database, the
number isn't guarenteed to be unique.

If you aren't requring uniqueness, there are a number of ways to generate
almost random numbers. However, there is no real way within the bounds of
the current form to create an incrementing number. For that you would have
to, as you say, use a database or a web service.


I hope this will help for you.

Hi,

Do you want to set the case number to one field in your form while
submitting? If you know the how many forms are submitted in SharePoint
library then we can increment one value for that count then assign this value
one field.

To get the how many forms are submitted in that library using the
GetListItems web service method. You can read the below link then you will
get more information on GetListItems method.
