Sorry, I'm a bit behind with all this - I only get the daily digest !

I think Jason Wharton has a document on his web site which deals with the
case of not losing numbers form a generator sequence. Have a look at
http://www.ibobjects.com/TechInfo.html and download the doc entitled 'An
auditable series of numbers'. It may not be exactly what you need and I
haven't given it much in the way of consideration yet - not applicable to me
- and it comes with an IB Objects based Delphi example, but it might help.

Regards,
Norman.
