how to default a guid?

[Mike R]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to Infopath and would appreciate being pointed in the correct
direction.

I have a SQL database which contains 1 table with some columns. The primary
key is of type uniqueidentifier.

I have created an Infopath form against a dataconnection for this table. I
dont want the user to enter in a guid. How can I default a new guid in the
control which is bound to the primary key of the table?

Thanks

Mike

Hello,

generally, you can let the SQL Server generate a unique ID (set the default
value of the column to "newid()").
