As long as you use this value when the form is initially loaded, then this value would insert into the database as well.
I think I understand what you are asking. If you are wanting this to be a unique form ID number then I would recommend calling it something other than UUID, because once you save it as a ten digit number, it is no longer a UUID. Does that make sense? Hope this helps. Larry Juncker Senior Cold fusion Developer Heartland Communications Group, Inc.
