Hey Walter,
I have to go back to an earlier point in another (or the same?) thread:
Surrogate keys are the absolute best way to guarantee a unique primary key bar none. Period. And, IMHO, the CoCreateGUID API call absolutely guarantees uniqueness spanning not only the table, but the database, the machine, the network, the freaking
world.
