So - you could query the library, get a count of the forms, and increment it by one, then zero pad it get the next number. The reason I suggest doing this when you submit is to prevent two or more users getting the same number.

No - because you don't have a way to know how many times the template has been opened. You don't know how many filled out forms have been saved.

So - you can map whatever list you wish first, so that the SharePoint IDs are generated and populated, then map those ID fields for the other list(s). The forum kinda blew away your formatting in your post, so I'm having a hard time understanding how these lists ...

Hi, I've managed to use this solution to have a really nice form and all is working well. Now the easy part, or should be... How do I publish this to my list so that users will launch the form direct from SharePoint? I'm lost, help! Thanks!
