hello, intrabuilder obviously cannot handle dbase 7 tabels with AUTOINC-fields. i always get the error "unexpected type - automatic type-conversion not possible" when I try to drop a AUTOINC field on a form. can anybody help me with this or is there a patch (I'm using version 1.5) TIA peter -- Peter Wilk Assistance and Insurance Consulting http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PeterWilk

Unfortunately, the software may be working as designed. Are you using the version of the BDE that shipped with VdBASE 7? That will make a huge difference ...

Only thing I can figure is that IntraBuilder itself doesn't recognize the autoincrement field? This is really a guess at this point.

True. The most recent version of IntraBuilder still predates VdB 7. There are other ways in which IntraBuilder will not treat tables the same as other BDE clients. For example, the referential integrity that one has been able to set up for Paradox tables since way back, is ignored by IntraBuilder. Using tables with RI defined does not generate an error message, but the RI constraint is not honored. Oops. Am I suffering from topic-drift here? Bill (Inprise)

OOH. Bummer. I didn't realize that.
