Hi Tim,

Thought I might mention this. Dont know if it's DBISam related, or inherited
from the TDataset component, but when I choose to add a new persistent field
to a TDBISamTable, and I choose the fieldtype of GUID, the size on the right
to the fieldtype gray's out, and is set to zero.

When I press on the OK button of the dialog, I get the error "Invalid Field
Size".

Cheers

Adam.

What version of Delphi ?  I suspect all versions are the same, but I have to
ask just to be sure.

Delphi 7 mate.

It's a Delphi cock-up, the same thing happens with the TTable component, and
the error is raised in the db.pas unit.

Thanks for that. Do you know if this is isolated to D7, (ie, fixed in
D2006), or is it an ongoing problem at present?

I tried it in D5 and D7, so those are definitely affected, and frankly, I
would assume that D2006 also has the issue.

I tried it in D2006 and received the same error.
However, to accomplish the task, I just copied a guid field from another
persistent field list and pasted it into another persistent field list.
Then I just changed the name, fieldname, fieldkind, etc.

Good workaround - thanks for sharing.

For what it's worth, I've been experiencing this in D7 Pro, too.  Has anyone found a solution other than the cut-and-paste method from another
persistent field list?

I believe that's the only way around the issue.
