Therefore you will have to add the time value to. But if you do a append of many files on one template then this method is not really good, because you could get 2 appends at the same time. Therefore my suggestion to use a [random] in there. > I don't think adding the random number will work for me because then I > lose the ascending numbers part that I need.In any case you will not get a ascending number with my hint. You will get a date and time combo but thatıs it. Yes, that could be somehow called *ascending number but it is not 100% proper.Sincerely, Nitai Aventaggiato CEO-- Tools to energize your business Content Management & eBusiness SystemsComputerOil GmbH http://computeroil.com/ Unionstrasse 4 info@computeroil.com 8032 Zürich/Switzerland Tel: +41 (0)43 333 1 555 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
