Have I missed something here? What's wrong with using Access' Random Autonumber? Actually, changing tack on this. The easiest way to ID the greeting card is to use the recipient's email address and the (sequential) ID. e.g. index.cfm?fuseaction=card.view&id=23&[EMAIL PROTECTED] which is pretty useful for the form approach too. If the recipient can't accept html emails, the link is likely to wrap. You can just give a link to a simple form: Please enter your email address: _____ Please enter the number received in your email: __ This would be much easier than having somebody type (or paste) in a UUID. ...and on another note...
