 Followup to Duplicate GUID Generation ...

Hello again,

        I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me out with my
GUID problem. I changed the code back so it uses the declarations as
originally defined with the addition of the StringFromGuid2 API.

        I modified the test app so it would generate keys using both the
old (buggy) method, and the improved method. My client ran it on his
Win98 box just a few minutes ago. The old method generated a dupe
before the code reached 100 iterations. The new method successfully
ran to 100,000 with absolutely no collisions.

        To make a long story short, your input fixed the problem; one that
was causing me no end of trouble, so I owe you one!

        J.

Not exactly what I was hoping for.

Would you prefer a different brand, or a different method of delivery
? How about the code to the program that generated the image ?

I _would_ send you the real thing, but UUENCODE is notorious for
mangling the {*filter*} content.

Thanks again, Randy. <g>
