I knew there was a way to get a Windows-like GUID directly from Windows, but I don't need something that long and unreadable. Of course, the odds of getting a duplicate with that GUID are about 16 quintillion gazillion bazillion to one, but I'll take my 1.1 trillion to one for now. <g>

>>I'm creating a simple GUID, 5 digits followed by 5 characters (uppercase A-Z only). Am I right in calculating the number of possible permutations as:

>>10 x 10 X 10 X 10 X 10 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 = 1,188,137,600,000
