Tony, I often use temp tables during processing.
A(nother) quick method to create an empty table is:
PROJECT TEMPORARY Table1 FROM Table2 USING ALL WHERE LIMIT = 0
Or if you only need certain columns, USING collist WHERE LIMIT = 0
If the table structure should change in the future, I don't have to
crawl through all the code looking for the table definitions. The
projected temp table structure will always be current.
Enjoy the sunshine.

James,
Sorry for not replying. However the sun was shining after days with a
lot of rain. So I took my bike and went to the local river (The IJssel
in Holland) to get some fresh air.
Jan was right with autonum.
What I sometimes do with (temp) tables, is create the table with
RBdefine and then unload the structure. Then you are sure everything
is in the proper order.

Thanks to Tony and Jan. I seldom use the auto num so all new to me.

Yes. The AUTONUM is issued after the table is created and before you
insert data.

Tony,
So after you create the table but before adding rows you use the
code you mentioned instead of the alter table command?
I saw the syntax you mentioned but was not sure if I used the
alter command.

What is the proper syntax for creating a column within a temp
table as an auto numbered column?
