The idea of using a phone number as a unique value in situations where there is no central registry is not such a bad idea. Of course you should include your country and area code, and can then append suffixes for as many fonts as your organisation produces. Much better than currency serial numbers (very parochial). The only problems are when you change your phone number, and the fact that in the case of UniqueID, the range is only up to 2^24-1. Regards, - Stephen Frede Softway Pty Ltd, P.O.
