I created an Employee Requisition form (using Infopath & VS) which submits
data to a sharepoint library. How do I add a unique ID (auto-number) like
2001, 2002, etc. for the Employee Requisition forms created.

The way to do this is to add an event handler to the library. The event
handler can insert a new id into a custom id field when a form is added.

You could also consider just using the id that is generated by the library
which is also an autonumber.

Thanks Marco. I just started working on a project with no prior experience
nor knowledge of Sharepoint. So, if you don't mind, can you please help me
with the event handler coding. Much appreciated.

I am not having to much time, but hopefully this will get you started.

First there is this artcile on Event handlers
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/spptsdk/html/tsptDocLibEvents.asp

You can use the example for the versioning, but where it is replacing the
versioning you could use something like.

SPListItem listItem = file.Item;

listItem["Your custom id filed"] = Some auto number;
listItem.Update();

You have to figure out how to generate the autonumber. Hope that this gets
you started.

If you have any detailed questions you can also e-mail me direct.
