Greg, You can easily test of a duplicate with an index...
You can also keep track of the last used record and increment it. If you want a permanent record, something like the saving of a small file should do. Last but not least, combining the id with another thing like the file name or a unique database identifier can help enhance uniqueness further... Is it possible that two clients create to records at the same time? Sooner or later, this could happen.
