Let me know if my method does not work or if it requires further explanation. Thanks for the reference, Patrick.

Hi Michael,

We have done this in the past by querying the SharePoint list and filtering it based on a unique value (for example, a Title). In your case, with browser forms, this doesn't work so well. Another technique is described by Clayton Cobb on his website: http://claytoncobb.wordpress.com/2009/06/15/auto-numbering-infopath-forms/. There are some minor issues with this approach but it should work in general.

Hope that helps!

Retrieve correct ID in SharePoint List

Michael Vasquez — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 15:16:44 GMT

How do I retrieve the correct ID in a SharePoint List using vb code after submission and after the form has been signed. I am trying to read and populate the ID field in my form so it can be printed out with a unique ID in that field.

I have the data connection setup correctly, but right now it only returns the first ID in the list. I don't necessarily want the last one in the list, because it may or may not be the last ID in the list. Please help!

This is a browser enabled form.

Mike
