>>Does anyone have a way of creating a truly, truly unique number to use as an identification for a record in Foxpro 2.6a? We have several people writing to a dbf and when they create a record in the dbf it puts a unique (or so we thought using sys(3)) number in a field. We are running these programs on P6-300's. We have also tried val(sys(3))+recno number of file+1. This also has not proved to be unique. Can anyone help us???

Does it HAVE to be numeric?
P.S. By definition sys(2015) is always going to be unique, so putting it in a loop is (should be) unneccesary. If anyone has received a duplicate from sys(2015) I would like to know.
