I am using an identity field in my database that automatically incements
when a new row is added. When I try to insert a row from a TDBGrid
component using a TTable component as the dataset I get an error stating
that the field, that is the identity field,  requires a value. Has
anyone had this problem and if so is there a way to get around it?
Thanks.

Hi, Eric!

See

http://www.temporaldoorway.com/programming/cbuilder/databaseandbde/generateuniqueid.htm

for a method of rolling your own autoincrement. It should take care of
your problem.
