I agree, the only, and maybe confusing, point here is that in use as a
property
> tbl.RecID = recid
May inply that you are setting tbl.RedID to the value of recid, but as it's
pretty clear from the docs that RecID is generated by DB with a lifetime
span and can't be changed, it's not that hard to figure out. However, for an
old user, having a "habbit" of a GoToRecID method it might be harder to see.
I come in with version 2.3 so I can only "imagine" about this - but I know
from life in general "habbits" are hard to change :-)
I also see no point in a .GoToRecID as .RecId do tha same thing and you need
.RedID to read the value. But maybe put a not in the doc that this is the
"same" as .GoToRecID.
Just a tip, im my app on ever release I have a small chapter for old users
of what have changed in behaviour and what they need to think of, compared
to how they did something previously. This I "trow" in the face of them when
they install as well as when they start the program until they deliberately
have checked the option to not show it up on start.
