I use the calculation to create a unique number that gets pasted into a Word
document. This number then is a unique referenece number for that document.
I use the following date as a reference which is subtracted from the current
date:
property pReferenceDate : date "Wednesday, January 1, 2003 12:00:01 AM"
This date was chosen because it was the date this organization, a law firm,
opened for business and using this date resulted in a number that is not too
many digits in length...for awhile anyway.
It's been working fine for over 3 years.
