Yes, the checkboxes are at the top. it's ok if the number is unique. Not to make things too complicated. but how should I go around that?

I might need to be spoon feed on this. I'm a big-time novice.

thanks

OK, try this: Create two read-only text fields, called "InvoiceID1" and "InvoiceID2" and place them one on top of another.

Then add this code as the Mouse Up event of both check-boxes:

if (event.target.value=="0") {
	this.getField("InvoiceID1").display = display.visible;
	this.getField("InvoiceID2").display = display.hidden;
	var prefix = "scd/fds/21/";
	var v = Number(this.getField("InvoiceID1").valueAsString.replace(prefix, ""));
	if (v==0) v = 5000000;
	else v++;
	this.getField("InvoiceID1").value = prefix + v;	
} else if (event.target.value=="1") {
	this.getField("InvoiceID1").display = display.hidden;
	this.getField("InvoiceID2").display = display.visible;
	var prefix = "scd/hh/21/";
	var v = Number(this.getField("InvoiceID2").valueAsString.replace(prefix, ""));
	if (v==0) v = 9000000;
	else v++;
	this.getField("InvoiceID2").value = prefix + v;
}

Actually, the subject line doesn't say nearly enough. When should this invoice number update? Does it need to be sequential? Random? Time-based? etc. Does it need to be unique?

A lot of information is missing for us to be able to help you with this.
