Thank you. I want to be able to order this key by chronology, so do I understand that

SUBSTR(SYS(2015),2, 9)+TRANSFORM(_vfp.ProcessId)

would yield unique id's created on different machines at the precise same moment?

>>I am creating a unique key with substr(SYS(2015),2, 9) as the value. Would it require that 2 users on 2 machines create the key at the same millisecond to get a duplicate, or even at the precise same moment would different machines render different values?
