Hi Folks,
I would like to auto-generate unique identifiers for XML documents, but I need to prevent them from being assigned to multiple documents. For example, when inputting information into a form, the unique ID must be filled in prior to saving the form, but such that other forms being created in sequence will obtain the next available unique ID. I'll probably create a list of unique IDs to work with(as they will map to other unique record identifiers) from which I can set the next available unique ID as record IDs are added, but again I would like to ensure no conflicts. For example: Record ID Unique ID ======= ======== RecA1 UID01 RecB2 UID02 RecA2 UID03 RecC1 UID04 and so on such that adding the next Record ID will automatically have a UID of UID05 assigned to it. I recognize that it is simple enough to do this unless an attempt to add 2 new records occurs simultaneously. Thank you! Tim Meagher
