I am getting the following error when I tried to use the code you sent me.
Error Diagnostic Information Just in time compilation error Invalid parser
construct found on line 16 at position 49. ColdFusion was looking at the
following text:#Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in
the expression structure. The last successfully parsed CFML construct was a
CFSET tag occupying document position (16:1) to (16:6).
Apparently it doesn't like having 2 ## in a row. This is exactly what I
wanted to have, so I'd like to get it properly set up.
Any ideas?

One useful way is this:
<CFSET OrderID = #DateFormat(Now(), "yyyymmdd")##TimeFormat(Now(),
"hhmmss")##RandRange(1000,9999)#>
OrderID = 18 digit unique number
This gives you exact date and time for the order number. Now you have both
order number and date/time info for analysis and the 5 digit random number
tagged to end prevents dupes (unless you have
ultra-high-never-before-heard-of-order-volume on your site).
