Would like to populate a form field with a receipt number starting at a
number that I choose, say 1123, and each subsequent time the form was
refreshed the receipt number would increase by one. THe reason for this is
visitors to the page will not know what number we are working at internally
and so I would like to populate this one field automatically.

There is an ID number which is uniguq and grows by one each time for each
entry into the database already, but can you change that number to start at a
certain point of your choosing?

Thanks for any help with this question. I have access to FP 2000, 2003.

IMHO; I don't think you could do this with the FrontPage form (through the
FrontPage GUI) and even if you could it'd probably be easier to learn to
make make a form/form handler in the scripting language allowed on your
server to do this job instead.

What kind of form is it?
