Hello
I have published InfoPath forms “Invoice†in SherePoint Server Forms Library.
I am needed to get unique forms ID like Invoice Number every time when I
fill out new Invoice form.
This number must be automating created and visible on Invoice forms.
I can use and database if necessary for that, but how?
Thank you

Hi,

This depends on where you are storing the file. If you are submitting to
SharePoint, you can look up the ID from the SharePoint list and there are
several threads discussing how to do that. If you are submitting to a
database, you'll need to return the new row ID for the submitted form. If you
are just saving to a filesystem, you'll unfortunately need to generate your
own unique identifier. There are various ways to do this. Search for "GUID"
in the forum or on the website.

Hope this helps!
