Hi. I'm using Version 2.6. I have a base product with about 100 tables. I customize my product for clients and sometimes I need to do a more major customization which includes some additional database tables. I don't really want to clone the whole thing and keep a complete data dictionary for the customized version, because if I need to enhance the base product I don't want to be forced to 'fix' more than one data dictionary set as the table enhanced would be in more than one dictionary - say the customer table.

I need the reindex/pack/update to work plus I need the autokey functionality. How can I handle this? If it is possible, please give me details as to how I should set it up.

Second question - Is there a way to use AUTOKEY to provide more than one automatically generated field (numeric incremented) for the same database table? I have a Reference # and a Bill of Lading #... I know that is wierd but I am rewriting a DOS app in 2.6 Windows and I don't want to recode all the reports to remove the duplicate key, also in the future one of the keys may be user defined (but still unique)...

TIA

Sandi.
