Answer 1

The simplest way would be to generate your uniqueIdentifier value at the code level, add it to your string and send it to the server.

Dim sql As String, _
    myNewUserId as variant

myNewUserId = stGuidGen    'this function will generate a new GUID value)'
sql = "INSERT INTO tblUsers ( userId, LastName)" & _
      " VALUES ('" & myNewUserId & "','" & LastName);"

You can check a proposal for the stGuidGen guid generating code here.

This client-side technique is clear, clean and usefull
