MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / December 2004Form Autonumber
After many hours headache trying to figure out a system to incorperate an autonumber in a form design without it being linked to any kind of database, it would be nice if the Infopath development team would design such a feature so that it is part of the software rather than having to try to figure out ways around this not being included. >After many hours headache trying to figure out a system to incorperate an >autonumber in a form design without it being linked to any kind of database, >it would be nice if the Infopath development team would design such a feature >so that it is part of the software rather than having to try to figure out >ways around this not being included. It can't be done with client software. A random number could be generated on the client but in order to ensure uniqueness the number must be generated on a server.

Sample code subject to http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.htm Dear Steve ! As I found out in reading the different questions and on our Microsoft partner meeting for ISV in Düsseldorf (your Technology promoter Olivier Hepfner and Dariusz Parys) the autonumber is very important ! To find a form again, it would be very helpful to have a autonumber out of the box, even with barcode printing. My idea to do it : A:) Synchronizied autonumber from on server out of the box with info path 2003x. 1. create a number file on the server 2. put the number in the form 3. add x (+1) on the number and save it back to the file next time : file exit, take the number +1 and so on... B:) workstations without connection to server file creation with network MAC-Adress of the machine back in the network push the new invoice after time and date of the workstation to the share point portal server Maybe a long number ? But it should work and it´s easy Best wishes |
