For this work i must have a unique name for any entry. I am not sure if I did understand you, but at least I have some idea about what you wants to do. Anyhow: Do you need sequential unique numbers? Are you going to use a few unique numbers or many at the same timne? If you just need some few, then you might try to just generate some random number for the entry name.
