in info path how we can give auto number for a form

Hi,

If your InfoPath solution is connected to an Access or SQL Server database,
then both of these offer "auto incrementing" fields that you could use in
your solution. (You could also implement the same functionality using a web
service that gets data from one of the databases.)

If not, then you will have to use custom functionality, such as:

1. During save, write this last used ID to a local file. Your solution
needs to be fully trusted or you will get a security warning based on the
zone.

2. Have a task pane and use one of IE's many storage mechanisms (e.g.
userdata, cookies, etc)

I hope this helps!

I was searching for the same thing. I need to give auto number to a form and
i'm not using database connection, so i should use the second sugestion but,
i did not understand it because my technical english is not very good. Could
you explain it better.

Thank you
