Using go bottom, grab the last number and start from there doesn't prevent two users from taking the same ID. Even if we put a check right after for the existance of ID.

As Tore said, you must lock the table so no other can access it during the insert:

DO WHILE NOT FLOCK([MyTable])
   WAIT WINDOW NOWAIT [I'm trying, I'm trying...]
   DOWVENTS
ENDDO
SELECT MAX(ID)+1 FROM MyTable INTO ARRAY laId
INSERT INTO MyTable (Id, ....) VALUES (laId[1],...)
UNLOCK IN MyTable
