I have a form that sends data to a csv file which I then pickup in a database via a linked table. I need to get a unique ID in this form to use to link other tables. I have conteplated using a hit counter to accomplish this but cannot figure out how to capture the hit counter info in the csv file that the rest of the data is stored.

Any suggestions? Links?

You can't use the hit counter, and unless you are using a database and say ASP to generate the ID, the best you can do is use the
date/time as a sort of "id"
(but it won't necessarily be unique on high traffic sites)
