Gary,

>>Primary key will work just fine with free tables<<

I have the PrimaryKey() working with free tables just like you said. However, after studying the PrimaryKey() code, it appears that it doesn't do a re-synch the first time it is called like it does with a primary index type.

What brought this problem up was importing data from another table. As an example, if the other tables index key I was going to use was type numeric and the first record had a value of 5, and the last record had a value of 9,999 - you would think the first key it would increment would be to 10,000. However, it started with 1 - which is OK. However, after adding 5 records it then created a duplicate key for 5 (if it was a regular index, or would give me the uniquness warning if candidate index).

Any suggestions on how to handle this when you are importing records using the PrimaryKey() function.

Thanks,
