I've read through the stings and have a general idea how to create sequential
numbering using a Form in Word.

The form I've created, which I saved as a templete, is for data requests.
So, anytime a requester opens the template, a new tracking number would be
created.

I was hoping to customize the numbering scheme so anytime someone opens a
template it would generate a tracking number with the person's intials
followed by the date and the next number..e.g., DM_Oct132009_1 and so on.
This is just an example, I'm not sure if this is possible..any
recommendations?
