Is there a way to preserve the RecIDs? One of my tables has a list of words. Now if the RecIDs of the records of the Words table change after the coversion from V1 to V2 that represent a problems. The user will be able to export data from the V1 database into the V2 database and vice-a-verca. When the user imports the data than the ObjectPtr will point to the wrong record in the Words table. The only way to get around this would be to keep my own ID which would be a problem this late in the game as it will require a change in the structure of the database. It would also require me to re-write parts of the program.

What if I use VStudio to dump the data into a xml file and then re-import the data to create a copy of database in V1 format and a copy in V2 format, will the RecIDs match then? 

Thanks.

If this db do not contains secret data, please ZIP it and send to me and
Ivan for test.

Yes they do.

And ObjectPtr values are corrected also.
