    a unique INT? You mean through different app-starts?

    You can store Your value in the registry or in an ini-file and increment it.

    Hope this helps

    May be CoCreateGuid() or UuidCreate() or UuidCreateSequential() suite your needs. These are usually used for generating a unique 128-bit integer in M$ plaftorms.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
