CF Sucks? Ignorance is truly bliss I guess. Funny, most folks that take that stance don't know a thing about CF and its benefits (a truly great product) that protects most avg. coders from themselves.
Jaded, what do you know of ColdFusion? FYI, last time I checked "simmalar" wasn't a word. CF has been around since you were in the 5th grade I believe...

makes me wonder, did they mean:
LSDateFormat?
or
LSD ate Format?

Ok, let's look at: "Left(IDstring, 9) & LSDateFormat(Now(), 'MM-DD-YY'".
"MM-DD-YY" is 8 characters. Let's assume 8 bytes. Append to that 9 bytes, which gives 17 bytes.
So you're using at least 17 bytes to store a UUID that would normally fit into 16 bytes.
Brilliant!
