Hi,

Yes, you can get the few letters from the input of a text field using Substring function. It contains three arguments. It returns the substring of the first argument starting at the position specified in the second argument and the length specified in the third argument. After getting that, use concat function to concatenate the letters with ID.

Generating a unique ID (codeXX+codeYY+autoNumber)

Good day!

I'm a new user of Sharepoint, Infopath and ASP.NET programming. Is it possible in sharepoint + infopath to generate a unique ID compossed of a code for example CUS + 001---> which is a autogenerated number? This code should be generated in the form created...

If possible, can anyone provide me with a sample code i can study?

Thank you so much. :)
