This will be not that tricky if I'm exclusive but I'm shared. The real problem is to get the next PX easy (AFIELDS is a kludge) and to set it n-steps forward, so that I 'own' those PX's. I know I can set next AutoInc with ALTER TABLE, but for the first im non exclusive, and for the second this will result in a DBC bloat. And I will insert some records not alter the table.

Hi Fabio,

Do I understand correctly, that in VFP8 there is no way to be able to insert records into parent table and into the child table without tableupdate on the parent?

I'm using VFP8 at the moment and CA. I use AutoInc fields as my PKs.

Thanks a lot in advance.
