    Show the SharePoint item ID on a form

    Background: InfoPath 2003 form published as a list template on a SharePoint (MOSS 2007) form library; I've been asked to show the SharePoint item ID on the form itself. Clearly this would only be applicable when the item ID does exists, i.e. when opening an already submitted form. I've been trying not to use coding, but do not seem to find a way; a Data Connection to a SharePoint library would not allow me to "Only retrieve data for the active form" on IP 2003, which would seem to be the optimal.

    Even if using code, any example of an easy implementation would be welcome; I have some experience in invoking SharePoint web-services from an IP form, but that would seem far too complicated for such a task, there should be an easier way...

    Thanks!

     Download a copy of the submitted XML and see if the SharePoint ID is stored in the processing instructions. It might be possible to get it from there via rules...
