Just generate enough and you will get duplicates. But the problem is more with the following: > In CF, you could use : myUUID = Mid(CreateUUID(),1,4); to get the first > 4 chars of a CF generated ID. Apart from using Left() instead of Mid() :-), just because the UUID is unique does not mean the first 4 characters are unique. With 4 ASCII characters you can have only 4 billion different combinations anyway, and with 4 HEX characters only 65536 different combinations.
