I've used this for small apps and it works fine
Also with Access 4 DB's and the OLEDB Driver you get support for
surrogate keys
This is and interesting point - how do other access methods & SQL DBMS
handle
surrogate key generation - ie how do they relocate the record they have just
inserted
also do they
1/ Allow selection of the Upwhere Criterial (KeyOnlt, Key and Changed,
Change only, All fields)
2/ Handle the resynching of server computed fields (ie COMPUTED BY in IB6)
afer updates
3/ Allow the 'editing' of complex queries (ie those with multiple table
joins)
