That sounds like a more elegant descision. I don't know why, but something in me said that a wholelly random sting needed to be generated. Really only the last integer conflicts. Boy was I tired last night 8-| Thanks again, Pavlos Christoforou writes:

If anyone has a more elegant solution I would love to set my tired eyes on it. ;-)

Couldn't you use a combination of ZopeTime and a random integer in the range 1-10000000? The whrandom module is available to _ I believe.
