Yes - I didn't know there was any doubt about it - the old form4gl program places ALL fields into forms. Are you using the serial as a lookup in your form? Or as data creation? If you are only looking up data then it's great. If you are creating data by overriding serial then - why use serial? In general, I do not publish serial to end users, simply use serials as [part of] a primary key. -----Original Message----- From: R WS [mailto:bquop@yahoo.com] Sent: 12 January 2001 01:08 To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Serial Column Dear All, Can a column with SERIAL data type be used in a form as an INPUT field ?
