Well, certainly if you're only taking part of a GUID/UUID, it's not going to be guaranteed unique. Depending on how the GUID is being generated, it might not even be likely to be unique.
To keep client IDs short, we auto-increment a field. To identify separate projects, we increment the project based on the client ID. So, the third project for the 794th client would be 794-3 HTH. --BenD cfhelp wrote: > I am thinking about taking the first part of a GUID and using it as the > Clients Account Number for when they make payments. > > > > #ListGetAt(ClientGUID,'1','-')# > > > > Do you think it's a good idea?
