Could you insert the order number as a field which references a document
variable then user the macro to update that variable?

You can temporarily unset and reset the document protection with a macro.
To preserve the current values of the form fields, you may have to make
their current values the defaults before unprotecting the doc.

The best time to unprotect a form is before it holds any user data.
