John,

Do you have code universal enough for this kind of situations? Could you please show it?

Thanks in advance.

APPEND BLANK is going to cause problems, especially if the app comes down and a blank record gets left in the base table. Thereafter, the app will break the next time an APPEND BLANK is issued, as you are finding out.

Now, each time I'm issuing append blank, I get an Error "Uniqueness of indexes is violated". I'm thinking about adding a default value for this field, but I don't want to use NextID table approach, because this database doen't have a NextID table and I don't want to change it.
