I am having a issue with an RBASE ODBC table. (Rbase database to Rbase 
database, both 7.5) 



When I try to update a row, I get the message : 



[RBTI][R:BASE 7.5 ODBC ODBC Driver][]-ERROR-Column ItemNumber not found (2369) 



I can browse this table and select from it, but if I try to update a column 
value,  I get the 

above error. 



I do not know, but I wonder if something is linked with a column being 
designated 

as a "QualKey" column.   Below is the listing for the ODBC linked table. 

   Table: Multipart            No Lock(s) 
   Descr: Server table - MultiPart ;driver=R:BASE 7.5 Database Driver 
   Descr: (*.rb1);dbq=g:\rbti\rbg7\HOF 

 No. Column Name        Attributes 
 --- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ 
   1 RackNo             Type   : TEXT 8 QualKey                               
   2 SkidLength         Type   : INTEGER  QualKey                             
   3 SkidQty            Type   : INTEGER  QualKey                             
   4 ItemNumber         Type   : TEXT 12 QualKey                              
                                 Comment: #ItemNo                             
   5 CurrentItem        Type   : TEXT 12 QualKey                              
   6 CurrentQty         Type   : INTEGER  QualKey                             
   7 PrevItem           Type   : TEXT 12 QualKey                              
   8 PrevQty            Type   : INTEGER  QualKey                             
   9 CurrentDate        Type   : DATE     QualKey                             
  10 TransActionNumber  Type   : INTEGER  QualKey                             
  11 Inventory_Type     Type   : TEXT 8                                       
  12 LocNotes           Type   : NOTE 4012                                    

 No. Column Name        Attributes 
 --- ------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ 
  13 Serial#            Type   : INTEGER                                      
   Current number of rows:   SERVER 



Notice that many columns show up as  "QualKey".  I have often wondered what 
this is.  Not 

all the columns list this and I see no common thread.  The foreign table only 
has one index 

on it. (RackNo). 



So two questions: 



1: Any clues as to why I cannot update a row in this table via the ODBC 
connection. (I have checked 

the table and there are no locks, etc.)  The error states something is wrong 
with the column ItemNumber. 

This is an alias for the actual column name ItemNo.   I cannot use that name on 
the SAttached table as the 

column is defined differently in the open database) 



2: What is the QualKey designation mean?  Is it an attribute that one can 
control? (remove etc.) 



Thanks,
