What I would do: at a 3digt random prefix and a 2 digit random suffix to your seq number of fixed lengte. So you will end up with something like 45600198 67000261 45800377 Aso If you print the list like this you will see at one glance the seq number but your competetiors are not Abel to see that 68118555 Means you have 185 as seq number. I have worked succesfully for years with this system Koen
