I wouldn't use a key* field in a UD table for anything you are going to change. The BO's are very fussy about that. I would put the last sequence number assigned into a Number field (or ShortChar if Alphanumeric).
We had similar needs, and used UDCodes (child) and UDCodeType (parent) for this purpose. The Parent record UDCodeType.CodeTypeID is "Counters", and we have children in UDCodes.CodeID for the various sequences we need, like last customerID, last UPC code, etc.
