I would recommend a custom field. That has worked well for me in the past.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris Milne Sent: Thursday, 30 July 2009 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Pre-generated list order numbers Afternoon folks, I have a need to create a SP list which, when users create a new list item entry, a new unique 'order' number will be presented to them and displayed on the newform.aspx, before the list item is actually created. So the first thing they see is a unique number (which stays with the item as a key value when they commit it and is from that point forward not changeable), followed by normal editable fields for the list item. Anyone done anything like this before? I'm thinking of creating two lists, one being the aforementioned list (call it list A) and the 2nd being a 'administration' list which essentially contains a variable/value of the last used number. When someone hits new on list A, it increments the value and gives the next number. To do that, I'd need to edit newform.aspx to display the new ID value, then somehow store it with the list item when it gets committed and make it not editable on editform.aspx. Anyone know of any better ways to achieve something like this?
