Naomi,

to me this looks like the ID field is not written from CA to the database, and the database uses a default value.

Check values of
UpdatableFieldList and UpdateNameList

for the ID field. Check that UpdateNameList holds the right DBC!Table.Field expression for the target.

I do not understand if you create the record with the CA or just update an existing one.

But this is not a big problem

Use the Method BeforeUpdate (add some code like)

LPARAMETERS tcFldState, tlForce, tnUpdateType, tcUpdateInsertCmd, tcDeleteCmd
?tcUpdateInsertCmd
debug
suspend

Check the output, this should be the command that is used for UPDATE or INSERT for the field you are missing.
