I'll tell you guys a way we have worked around this problem in both ASP and CF. When a page first loads create a uniqueID for that page we use the date then time to the milli secon then a random string of 4 letter and then a random string of 4 numbers. Then save that in a field in the database we use tablename_RID. Then evertime before you do an insert query the database for that specific RID you made and don't allow the insert to go through if its already there. Scalability is not really a problem even with thousands of records.
