What would be the code for Auto Numbering. This would be a wonderful thing!

You need to use the "JavaScript" language option in LiveCycle Designger.
The basic code is:
MyFieldName.rawValue = Math.random() ; // get a random number between 0 and 1.
If you want to generate a whole number:
var UpperLimit = 100; // upper limit of numbers to generate
var RandomNumber = Math.random() * UpperLimit; // Random number 0 - UpperLimit
MyFieldName.rawValue = Math.ceil(RandomNumber); // random integer 1 - UpperLimit
You can place the code as needed.
