Is there a way to serialize a live cycle for -- or apply a static time/date stamp?

[scottdockendorf]

I need to be able to either serialize the form -- assign a unique numeric or alpha numeric number to each form or apply a time and date stamp that is static (the existing date and time reflects the current time whenever the form is opened)  Any suggestions?

I did a presentation on this topic for the Acrobat Users Group (BTW: another good forum for information). They recorded it. You should be able to get at the presentation here:

Thanks, I looked at it -- and I could not make it work.

If I click on a numeric box then in the formula area above type in what you provided:

$=concat[date(time)]

nothing happens.

Sorry, I am not a programmer. I also inserted this code into the xml and nothing.

The correct way is:

$=concat(date(),time())
