How about this?
<cfset Unique_ID = DateFormat(Now(),"yymmdd") & TimeFormat(Now(),"hhmm")
& "-" & Right(GetTickCount(),5)>
It's not *totally* bulletproof. If two processes run the code at the
exact same millisecond, you'll have a duplicate ID. I would implement
this line plus the
database INSERT within a <CFLOCK>. That would pretty much kill any
chance
of a dup. On a very high volume site, I would use the database
facilities that others have described.
