Hi Dave, When I converted a couple VFP apps to MySQL, I went the SPT route which worked great. I chose the route of:
1) insert blank record 2) commit 3) get last_insert_id from backend 4) repopulate the spt cursor Today, I would generate my pk id's on the front end using GUIDs. While it is easy to let the backend handle this task, having the front end do it with GUIDs means you can have a totally disconnected design. Think offline views that actually work.
