Probably because when you submit a form to sharepoint, sharepoint inserts form into a database and form ID is generated at this instance.<br /><br />Agni<br />InfoPathDev Indiahttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4681.aspxTue, 24 May 2005 07:44:11 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:4681potpourri0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/4681.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=4681when we're opening a new form from the sharepoint list, can we actually know the form ID that's about to be assigned?<br /><br />the form ID i'm referring to here is the unique form ID that's auto generated by the sharepoint list.<br /><br />All I know this moment is that I can only extract the form ID after it's being submitted.<br /><br />is there a way to actually know the form ID when the form is created the first time? or is this impossible to know?<br /><br /><br />thanks :)
