Hi Anton,

Ed's idea worked for me, but I found a serious flaw in my implementation. When I designed my database (native VFP), I took AutoInc for my PKs. HUGE mistake! Now I'm in a catch 22 situation, because after I inserted a new record in a table I can not get my PK back. It looks like I have to switch to NextID() for now and use GUID in all other new projects instead.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
