Par2: Manually controlling autoinc fields
1998-12-23 -- Shawn Simmons
 
1) Create A Local Variable in your form called RECORDADDEDFLAG and set it to
a byte.

2) In the Windows init priority 1 method:

If GlobalRequest = InsertRecord
  Set(Ven:PrimaryKey)
  Previous(Vendors)
  If Error() Then RecordID# = 1 Else RecordID# = VEN:RecordID+1.
  Get(Vendors,0);Clear(Ven:Record)
  Ven:RecordID = RecordID#
  !Prime any other fields here
  Access:Vendors.Insert()
  Relate:Vendors.Fetch(Ven:PrimaryKey)
  GlobalRequest = ChangeRecord
  RecordAddedFlag = True
End

3) At Windows Kill Method priority 4000:

  If Self.Response = RequestCancelled AND RecordAddedFlag Then
   Relate:Vendors.Delete(0).

4) I know this is a brute force way of defining the AUTOINC, but it has
NEVER failed me.  Make sure that you remove the AUTOINC attribute from the
primary key in your access table.
