>> Is there something I could do to prevent this from happening? I think JES2 can be customized to use seven digit numbers for the job number. On my site, the jobs numbers look like J1234567. That is, you cannot prevent the collision in job numbers, but you can lessen the frequency. If I were doing this exercise, I would replace the first character with an alphabetic sequence value. Instead of saving the job as member J1234567, save it as A1234567. When there is a collision, use a member name of B1234567, etc... Or perhaps do not worry about the member name, but archive the entire data set when the numeric sequence number rolls over.
