Put a button control, go to properties and edit code, put the next code(jscript):

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/myFields/ID").text = Math.random()*1000;

Ok, now I can see the programming option. I clicked on On Load Event, then I tried putting different lines of code. The field on my ID is called "ID" (I created a db in Access and add a field for each table name: ID). I then drag and drop all the fields from one of my table to the form, so the ID field is in the form. My question is, how do I write this code, where do I put the "ID" name in the code. Is it like: var ID =
new ActiveXObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib").guid.substring( 0, 38); or var ID = System.Guid.NewGuid(); ? is that all the code I need to write? I am so confused, sorry for been such a novice. Thank youu

Hello, thank you very much for your help. But where do I put this code? Once I had all my data field in the form I tried to go to Tools>Programming but I cant click in any of those options. Where do I need to write that code, and is just a copy-paste or do I need to write something else?

var value = Math.random()*1000;
