Well looking at your code there is potential for 11 characters - first
char of 0 from the year(a)-2004 statement (until next year when it'll be
1) and then double chars returned from all the other functions. Not sure
how would be best to solve that in your situation.
However to get the other functions always returning a leading zero for
values below 10, try something like this :-
uniqueID = Year(a)-2004
uniqueID = uniqueID & right("0" & Month(a), 2)
uniqueID = uniqueID & right("0" & Day(a), 2)
uniqueID = uniqueID & right("0" & Hour(a), 2)
uniqueID = uniqueID & right("0" & Minute(a), 2)
uniqueID = uniqueID & right("0" & Second(a), 2)

Subject: [AspClassicAnyQuestionIsOk] Re: Newbie question unique 10
digits
Hi Dan
Thanks for this. I think I have to say that in 6 years I have not
noticed it not working then. In the past it has not been called for
say a month at time. Now I am calling it every day I suspect that now
I am spotting the failure.
Can you give me any guidance as to how to ensure only 10 digits are
returned?
Many thanks
Martin
