Well, it depends ultimately on how your users are "submitting" the form. Are they using the Save, Save As, or Submit built-in buttons in the top-left and bottom-left toolbars? Or, are you using a custom button in the form that has rules behind it? I personally prefer to always use a custom button in the form with rules ...

What are you setting the count function to? Which field? Are you populating the fields that are being counted?

I'm not sure what is happening there, but do you really want to email the form to the library? Why not create a data connection that submits the form to the library like normal, and then reference that data connection in your submit? It's a very simple thing that should be very easy with no hassle. Let me know if you need ...

I'm not sure you can rely on ID, because the ID is not assigned until AFTER you first submit it to the library. However, you can't worry about duplication, because the ID field of every SharePoint list is a unique identifier. The numbers are sequential and are never duplicated.

Actually, I just double-checked, and I'm NOT getting my error relative to that action. My ...

I, too, need to start up a blog where I can share my many discoveries in my quest to get things done ...

I think what you are seeing is the creation of a form with a web service being the primary data source, which locks your schema. Don't do that, but rather start with a blank template and add as many web services as you want through the data connection wizard.

No, you don't have to guess or hope. You can have a different data field with your own unique ID generator if you think the now() function isn't going to be unique enough. I always include the current username AND the now() function, because then it doesn't matter if two people submit at the same time, because it will still ...
