Well, I'm a coming from a c++ background and trying to get a grip on how this function works. how was your keys table set up when you had one? (i'm getting errors - it doesn't recognize the identifier "keys")

Actually I have no "keys" table anymore :) When there was I only used TableName and NextId. None primary (since no RI there I don't need a primary). It can even be a free table. Only thing is that it's used unbuffered.
>Currently I use character generated PK (bintoc(logonrecno)+sys(2015) - each user lock a record for the entire session in logon table, no problem s/he might have a hangup because recs are logon point specific with data such as netbios id, TCP/IP etc). Downside I spare up to 13 chars for a PK (don't care diskspace as I do in old days :)
