Hi
You can try:

EXECSCRIPT('afields(aColumns,[base_table]])'+CHR(13)+'nNextId=aColumns[1,17]'+CHR(13)+'RETURN nNextId')

as default value for autoincrement column in view. But is not reliable.

I believe that the old style is better for local views.

Interbase/Firebird generators are much better in this respect.
