On the parent document create two fields

DOCUNID calculated on compose – formula

@TEXT(@DOCUMENTUNIQUEID)

NUM numeric field defaulted to 0

On the child document, set the “Formulas Inherit Values….” option on the Form and create two new fields.

PDOCUNID calculated on compose – formula DOCUNID

CNUM calculated on compose – formula

temp:=@getdocfield (PDOCUNID;”NUM”)+1;
@setdocfield(PDOCUNID;”NUM”;temp);
“R”+@text(temp)

If yopu have any trouble with it just let me know.

John

Then when a new response is created, it could take that number, increment it by 1, write it to the response and back to the parent, and save both docs.
