I am wondering how to make a unique ID to allow new ID to be generated and it must be unique. i tried using the combination of date and time but I realise there can be the same if 2 users are using the excel.
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
you could use their network log in like this

Code:
Sub UserID()
Dim UserID As String

UserID = Environ("USERNAME")
MsgBox "The UserID = " & UserID
End Sub
