Form help

[smoothdra]

On my new record page I wanted to run a script to generate a number. I inserted the code to run the script, but since the whole page is a form, every time I click 'submit' the script is run. I need the script to be independent of the new record action, because I don't need a new number for every new record. Is there a way to create a new record without running the script? Thanks.

The only thing that I can think of is write a script (let's call that scriptA) that will determine whether or not you need to create a new number, if you do, then you will run the oringinal script(scriptB) and if you don't, nothing happens.

And in the form, make it run scriptA.

I'm not sure if this will work!

Is there any way to create this number using a calculation field rather than a script?

If it's created by a calculation it can be entered into the record at creation by an auto-enter.
