<div>
I have an access 97 database that I am using the BDE to access. Everything<br />
works fine except for the autoincrement field. It produces random results<br />
rather than a sequential increment. On one machine it increments by 5 and on<br />
another it is 6. I tried reinstalling BDE and that did not help. <br />
I am using the most current, 5.0, that came with Delphi 4.0. I have installed update patch 2. If anyone can offer an assistance I would greatly appreciateit.<br />

This is common problem with access when you have default values together on the same table. &nbsp;Remove &nbsp;the default values and the Autoincrement feature will work. <br />

<div>
Default values on the field in the access table seem to increase the autoincrement number by 1 more than the number of defaults.<br />
<br />
If anyone has a reason for this i would like to know as I think it must be a fundemental problem with the BDE.<br />
