What is GUIDMaker?
This might sound like a real n00b question, but what is it? Or bettter yet, what would you use it for?

And since I know you folks like to respond ...
around here, don't give me the description from the website

Thanks for any insight you can shed on this.

Is there something you don't understand about "create GUID's from ASP"?

GUID's are "globally unique identifiers", they are handy variable types, and there is no easy way to create a GUID from asp code. Hence GUIDMaker. For myself, I let SQL Server make my GUID's, but not all sites have an SQL Server available.

I thought it was Genuinely unique. Ah well learn something every day.

Anyway they look something like {0D3DEBB0-DEBE-11D1-8B87-00C04FD7A924}

Did you pick that GUID at random? Searching the registry on my XP Pro box shows this to be the identifier for the AppExport class found in catsrvut.dll, which is a pretty unusual class ID to pick.

Or maybe these globally unique id's aren't so genuinely unique

GUID's are used a lot in sql server databases, sql server can create guid's but if you want to create a guid first then store it in a sql server dbms you need something to create the guid value other than sql server.

Plus there are many cases I can think of where it would be nice to have a guid available for writing into a cookie. Right now I have to connect to sql server to generate a guid, not the most efficient way to do things.

Keep in mind the concept of a guid, it's not just a long value, but it's a long value that's guaranteed to be unique anywhere, anytime, by any computer.
