You'll have to generate it elsewhere and update the table. If
Access has
GUID columns (I don't think it does), one pretty easy way
would be to take
the rightmost 5 characters of a GUID cast to a string. I
think you're going
to be stuck doing it yourself, though. Or downloading a copy
of SQL Server
Express... ;)
