If I could get my head around it I'd write a tutorial myself:)

I know people will refer to the RecID but I'm really struggling to come to
grips with not having my own ID field. It's been the first field in every db
I've created in the last 10 years.

The auto-entry thing can be overcome pretty easily. In RB I have a 'sheet'
for a new record where people enter basic information. It would be easy to
just hard-code a constant into the SQL insert statement to give a default
value to a particular field every time a new record is created.


Cheers
