Hi Sebastian!
>>>>Excluding the key field from the updatable fields may cause the problem of impossibility of creating new records - who and how fills the candidate key field if you creating new records?

Well, in the free table, I have customer number (custnum) as candidate key. Since it is a free table, not contained within a .dbc, the index builder will not let me build a "primary", only a "regular" or "candidate". With a new record, Customer number is filled in by opening a control file, locking record, replacing "custnum" with this value, incrementing the control file value by one, then unlocking the record. It should always be unique because of this.

Yeah, I tried different things and that seemed to do the trick, but I know that it doesnt have to be done. It was the only thing that kept me from getting this 1545 error. But I want it done right, not just working.

I did this by cursorsetprop() -- I deal with table buffering only.

Thanks and Have a great day!
