Public variables as default values and storing them

A while ago I posted a question about being able to tag some of the data entered into a database with a specific ID. The answer I got suggested I have a database with a public variable declared on opening ie the user is asked to enter an identifier when they open the database and then this is made available through the rest of their session

This I have done but what I am not clear on is how I can use it as a tag. I need to get that identifier as the default value(or only value allowed) in the ID field of all the records entered in that session. I also need it to be input into a table which stores the identifiers so that each new ID entered can be compared to make sure it is unique

Am I asking too much?
 
You can set the field using code in the BeforeUpdate
event of the record. j.
