Hi,

I'm new to infopath.

Ive created a quotation form for our employees to fill in and send out to
our clients. I want to create a Quotation ID so when the template is opened
the quote id is increased by one?

Thanks

Is your form submitting to a database? If so, the simplest thing to do
would be to set up QuotationID field on the database side as AutoNumber
(if you are using Access) or IDENTITY (if you are using MSSQL).

If your form is completely standalone, the task will be a bit harder;
you will need to write a web service that will generate these quotation
id's for you, and include this web service as a data source (Tools |
Data Connections | Add | Receive Data | Web Service)

Good luck,
Alex @ Microsoft
