When using an AutoInc field in a Paradox 5 table (primary index is on it), and
using Paradox 5's "Rebuild Table" utility or calls to TUTILITY.DLL, the
AutoInc field is regenerated!! This does not happen (as indeed it
should not) when using Paradox 7's utility. Is this a known bug ? Is there a
patch / workaround? This has caused many of my tables to scramble their
information due to my relying on this field being unchanged.

Any info appreciated

You can consider it a design flaw or a known bug. Paradox 5 table rebuilds
trash autoincrement fields.
A better way is to use a counter field in a separate table, which is
updated whenever a new record is added. Remember to lock the record,
before reading it.
The DbiCurrRecord or some other such routine does that. This is important
in a multiuser environment

        This is a long known limitation of the rebuild feature. I am glad to see it has
een changed in P7.
