Default headache! :) unique_id's


this is my prob

this is a list that i want to keep track of the job that has been done
on a vehicle.

The vehicle can come into the workshop twice a day for different
problems but i

want to assign a unique job sheet no that is carried on the vehicle.

The scenario:

unique_id vehicle no date_in date_out action taken
1 x123 01/10/2005
engine repair
2 y456 01/10/2005
chasis repair
1(auto) x123 01/10/2005
engine repair


but if there is an input in date out for x123 and x123 comes into the
workshop,
a diffrent ID will be assigned

unique_id vehicle no date_in date_out action taken
1 x123 01/10/2005
engine repair
2 y456 01/10/2005
chasis repair
1(auto) x123 01/10/2005 01/10/2005 engine
repair
3 x123 01/10/2005
brake repair

right now , i am using the contenuate of the vehicle no and the date in
to create the unique ID but this will not create a unique Id if it comes
into teh workshop twice a day.

hope that this is clear.

is there such a formula?
