Unique ID in consolidated project changes from time to time

The unique id is inconsistant in a consolidated ms 2002 project.
Sometimes the inserted project id's have 4m addded to them, and at
other times they have 8m added. This makes the usefullness of the
unique id as a fixed reference unusable. Is there a way to make it
consistant, or to supply a fixed value, such as 10,000,000 which would
make more sense?

Thanks for any ideas.
Neil

It is consistent enough.
Simply subtract 4194304 from the unique ID until the value is less than
4194304.

You could use a number field to hold the "true" UID
in code:

task.number1 = task.uniqueID
while task.number1 > 4194305
task.number1 = task.number1 - 4194304
wend
