I have a Purchase order form that is fillable, What I would like to be able to do is that when the form is opened a new purchase order number is generated and input in the PO# form field. Is this possible??

one way to do it is, associate the form with an excel file or some other DB, specifically this field that would show the no.
Everytime the form is rendered, it would refer the value of this field from the Db connection, and at form initialize, you can apply script to increment this value by 1.
