Is there a way to auto populate numbers if something is entered into a specific field?

I would like the fields under the line # column to autopopulate 1,2,3,4... if something is entered into a field under the item # column. I've attached a screen shot for reference. The item #'s would vary.

Try setting field format to none.

As validation script of item# use something like this:

if(event.value)this.getField("Line field name goes here").value = 1;

else

this.getField("Line field name goes here").value = "";

I tried the above but it isn't working. I get a JavaScript error when I test it in Reader. I've attached screen shots so you can also see the names of the fields.
