Robert:
Getting a temp name is trivial, there is a get-temp-filename already in the, it just needs a macro call function. It allocates a guaranteed unique name in the standard Windows TEMP folder. It needs a passed, 3 char prefix which will be used in creating the name. The names are all XXXyyyy.tmp. e.g. if passed ABC you'd get back ABChhhhh.TMP where hhh are some random characters.
This should do, I don't want to get into 'private' Temp folders, nor do I want to go altering the current SPFLite usage.
2nd item - isn't this what Get_Uniq_ID was supposed to provide, why re-invent some variation of it?
