Resetting Paradox autoincrement value in .VAL file

Resetting Paradox autoincrement value in .VAL file

Post by GCant » Sun, 31 Dec 1899 09:00:00



There is an offset in the Paradox .VAL file, or possibly the .DB file
which allows you to set the next autoincrement value. It does not
involve the usual method restructuring and setting the autoincrement
field to an integer field, setting the highest value to the one you
want, and changing it back to an integer.
It appeared on one of the Delphi newsgroups some time back. Does
anyone know about this?
