You definitely don't want to set the default value in your view. This will trigger NewID to be called twice whenever you add a record to your view. You will end up wasting keys.

As far as why you are getting this error, I would venture to guess that either lcBaseTable or lcPrimaryKey isn't the correct value. You should probably just trace through the OnNew method and see how they are getting assigned.

>The program has the correct info as far as lcBaseTable and lcPrimaryKey variables are concerned, but it cannot find the DefaultValue. In the table itself the DefaultValue is newid(). If one append a blank to the table itself the newid() function works fine and offers the next unique id. But the view knows nothing about newid(). Is there a line I can add to the views.prg that will give this information to the view?
