The unique keys that define where an item is located and how to get at
it are EntryID and the item's folder's StoreID. Other than that you
aren't guaranteed any unique fields.

True, which I'm always doing <g>. I usually use a custom Field in CDO
or Redemption and use the Session.CreateConversationIndex method for a
nice easy way to create a unique GUID for the field. Or if I'm not
using CDO I use the Win32 API function to create a GUID for that.

But that's not a shorter key than EntryID and it's not a standard
field of course.
