Hi,
Boy, this is a puzzle ... OK I'm trying to do a new record insertion ... as
such the Primary Key is NULL but the database insertion will make my
Generator trigger fire and it'll be assigned an incremented number ... great
it works ... as long as I clear the Not Null property of the primary key and
that gives rise to MetaScript import errors so it can't be the way to do it
!

It appears that the Dataset already knows that the field can't be a NULL and
intercepts the apparent error before the database can do its stuff ... so
how do I tell the Dataset to ignore the fact the Primary Key is a NULL ? ...
I'm using a TIBOQuery ... TDataSetProvider ... TClientDataSet ...
TDataSource.  The only reference that I've come across was by another poor
soul who'd resorted to assigning the the Primary Key to -1 in the
OnNewRecord event and then triggering his generator on a -1 assignment ...
or maybe that's the only way ?

Thanks

Andrew
