Hello,
I am working with version 7.6, build 7.6.8.31102 - and I am wanting to change the way the users currently add/edit information in this multi-user database. I would like to have the users working in temporary tables which would then update the permanent tables. Could someone kindly give some advice on how they have handled primary keys in this situation. For example, the user wants to enter a new client. The client table has a primary key that is an auto-number. Is it better to grab the next number from the permanent table and reserve it or generate the key in the temporary table and then check to see if it used? Or is there another way that I hadn't thought of (most likely J). Thank you in advance and Happy Holidays!
