You could take the current date/time and convert it into a numeric or alphanumeric value.
Dec 14, 2001 at 12:39:58
12/14/2001/12/39/58 or
1214200112393958
It all depends on how often you will be creating a unique value. If you decide to use date/time make sure you consider the regional settings of the web server.
If you use the Date() function it could return
12-14-01 or 12/14/01 or 12/14/2001, etc.
