How unique is a ReplicationID?

[NerdRunner]

I'm working on a data synchronization solution (I am not using
replication for several reasons). There will be, potentially, 12
unique users of the application. Each will be using the application at
their location. The applications are not connected to each other.
Each application will transfer the changed, deleted, and modified
records to the "master user" who will import the records into the
master database. I would like to use a single field that will act as
the unique id for each record. How "unique" are replication id's? Are
they globally unique or just unique if used within a replication
solution (via the Access replication techniques)?

Google for the exact makeup of the id, but I think part of the number is
based on a unique information about the machine that generated it.. So,
machine1 and machine2 might both create the number 1234, but the unique
machine info will help ensure the total uniqueness.

I think.
