Ok, I will rename the function to MyUID() ;)

Anyway, another definition:

globally unique identifier (GUID)
A 16-byte field used in a Microsoft Access database to establish a unique identifier for replication....

Have a nice day !

>Just to be picky here: a GUID is specifically a 32-byte hexadecimal number (or 38-character string, depending on the representation) generated from a specific algorithm. You can't use your function for "some sort of GUID", but you can use it for "some kind of unique identifier."
