On many apps, the order number is not typically shown until the order is submitted (or data has been completed keyed) because it is not a valid order until then. Once that is done, then the order number is displayed.
>>It's quite easy. You generate the primary key (a guid) on the client/web server, not on the database server. You have the order number as auto incrementing. You save the record, and requery it using the generated primary key.

>How can you show the number on the form when you're working on the order? You still should have an ability to Cancel.
