In Access I got this only when I set FieldDef->FieldNo property.Otherwise is

If you mean Database Desktop (I have it in BCB5 PRO), yes ,the fields must 
be consecutive .
I  have Turbo C++ Explorer which has only Database Explorer.

From the help: "Paradox:The fields in a key must be contiguous starting with 
the first field"
An easy way is to use SQL in Database Explorer(since you haven't DB Desktop) 
something like:

create table testTbl(
Id integer,
State varchar(25),
Remark varchar(10),
PRIMARY KEY (Id,Remark)
)

and for additional indices

create index StateX ON testTbl (State)

Sure .Is not a big problem anyway.
