Beau Cameron Thanks for your response
So I go into List Settings, and in the Columns section of the page, most of the columns are listed. However, Item No. is DEFINITELY not listed. It does seem odd, but I'm 100% certain. What reason might this be? "ID" is also not listed.

Is this form customized in your environment? Also ID is an internal column, not something you can change, so it's not shown.
