Automatically generated numbers - several questions

    Hey! I am using this form for people to register for an event! There are two questions i would like to ask:

    1. Participants are going to receive a "starting number" - is it possible to automatically generate a continous number for the participants! Doesnt work with Entry Id, since there are gaps inbetween. Something like - creating a first entry with a number 0 and then every new entry refering to the previous one and adding +1. Is that even possible?

    2. Participants also have to pick up their tickets at specific points! how is it possible to randomly create a code that will be already shown in the confirmation mail, so that they can go with their code to the pick up point and proof their online registration?

    3. Is it somehow possible to choose several payment options in one form? Like Paypal, Cash, Banking Account (E-Mail template with account details)?

    4. Is it somehow possible that if somebody chooses a certain multiple choice point, the "Submit" button gets deactivated! Reason for that would be that certain options get activated only in a specific period of time!

    5. Is it possible to reset the entry_no. back to 0?

    thanks a lot in advance and sorry for the invconvenience!

    I'm not sure about the others, but #3 is possible with multi-page forms. Include a multiple choice item letting the user choose check/cash or credit card. Then set the page skip logic so that if the user chooses check/cash they skip to the "Success Page".

    #1 is probably best done after the fact since you cannot determine at the moment of submission if the person will pay. Collect emails assign starting numbers and send them out. Or use the form number and don't worry about the fact that there are gaps.
    #2 is easily done by having the person bring the email with payment receipt Hold off sending the copy out to the submitter until paid.
