GUID/UUID generator suggestions
#1
Gintaras, Morning!

A few questions per GUID/UUID:

1) Am I understanding the help system correctly that Q-Macros DOES NOT generate it's own GUID, but that it goes on-line and obtains one thru Google?

2) If this is the case, what is the downside of using a portable generator? (Such as 'unique identifier generator' (http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/ ... r_portable)). Are there any other 'portable' generators that you would suggest?

The reason I would like to use a 'portable' version, is because of 'speed' and the macro having to wait for the Internet connection.

3) I will be using the GUID as a a 'transaction-ID', much like a Pri-Key. Do you have any important suggestions on doing this w. QM's that are not included in the help system?

and

4) Could you provide a short example of:
a. the creation of a GUID or UUID
b. convert this to a string
c. and places this string in a variable

AND 'ONCE AGAIN', -thank you for your help!!!

Kent
