Is there anyway to expose the item ID in the DIP or column in a document library?

I need to create a unique file name in my document library.

I'd like to use the unique item ID on save in Excel VBA.

is it possible to get at this information?

You cannot edit the ID field it is a read only .
even on the API it is a read only attribute.

How can I expose it?

ah, I see.

I think you are probably right - thanks for the info though - I will try it out (and post back if it works)
Sounds plausible - need to test.
