Generate Auto Number in InfoPath 2003

[LyLy]

Good Morning,

I would like to find out if it is possible to generate an unique auto number
in InfoPath 2003. If so, how? Thank you for any help you can give me on
this!

Out of the box... no.

One option is to create a DB table that stores the value and you incrment it
when it's saved.

If all you want is a unique id (not necessarily a number) without a
specified sequence... like 1, 2, 3 etc. You can use a comibination of the
DATE+TIME as the form name.

You can find this in the Formulas if not using managed code or script.

Or by using DateTime("yyyy-MM-dd-hh-mm-ss") if using code or script. (Look
up DateTime function/method. The syntax above may not be correct)..

Alternatively, you can search the forums as this has been asked quite a few
times. Search for "unique number" or "unique ID".
