I have defined an auto-increment field in my Paradox table using an augmented field definition, however I cannot update the value. What is going wrong?
A The Paradox File Driver lets you define a Paradox AUTOINC field using an augmented field definition. This works slightly differently from using the Clarion templates to do the auto-increment in that the value is determined by the BDE run-time not the Clarion templates. However, Paradox AUTOINC values are read-only and may not be updated using the BDE. For this reason the Paradox File Driver ignores attempts to write a changed value back to the table. If the driver did not ignore such update attempts, the BDE would report an error and furthermore it would complicate the use of CLEAR() to clear the contents of the record.
