Sorry it is MS Jet.

When I create a table the statement is:

CREATE TABLE Test( AutoIncrement COUNTER( 1, 1 ) [, other field names and
types]
    CONSTRAINT PrimaryKeyIndex PRIMARY KEY( AutoIncrement [, other field
names and types]  )

This works for all other tables that don't have the autoincrement
type.However, when I add/use the autoincrement field I get the exception
"Syntax error in field definition". Any idea what's causing this and what
does the ( 1, 1 ) in the COUNTER mean?

Kindest Regards,

Kim
