Here is the standard procedure I use to create unique ID's..
`	NextID
$0:=[NextID]ID
[NextID]ID:=[NextID]ID+1
SAVE RECORD([NextID])
`    end script

To obtain a unique ID in any file use the following...
[Clients]Client Number:=NextID    ` NEXTID being a function

The NextIF file has only one field called ID and only one
record, the next ID to be called.
(pardon my typos)
