Sequential numbering using Life Cycle

I have created a form using Life Cycle 7.0 . This form needs a sequential number that increments every time the form is finalized. For instance, when the form is opened, it put the value '000001' in the Page Number field. The user would then be able to work on that form ONLY. Once all changes are made to that form, it is finalized, and the next time the form is opened, the Page Number field increments to '000002'.

Any ideas??

Thanks

Very helpful, and one of the approaches should solve my problem. Of course, I've moved onto bigger and bigger problems since this first post!! I'll have to readdress this one when time permits.

Thank you for your response.

I am new to the board and am looking for a solution. I has LiveCycle 8.2 with Acrobat 9. When I try to use the "page n of m" in a static form it doesn't work. It gives me this result page of with no numbers.It works in a dynamic form. Why is that? Sorry if this is a repeat question.
