Difference between 4.24 V1 and 3.30 - using a memory table

in V4, an autoinc value is not available in AfterPost (it is in V3) two
questions

1. Is this a bug, or is it as designed?
2. I changed the program to use table.LastAutoIncValue. Seems to work OK,
but I feel uneasy about this. Is there ANY reliable way in V4 to get  in
AfterPost the autoinc assigned to the record just posted?

Have you tried Refresh or maybe just read the record again?

Cheers

How do you try to access the new value?

I have created a simple program with a table, a datasource and a dbgrid.
If i add this AfterPost event, the caption always shows the value of the id
field (id is an autoinc).

procedure TForm1.tbAfterPost(DataSet: TDataSet);
begin
 caption:=dataset.fieldByName('id').asString;
end;

It should be.  As Bernd asked, how are you accessing it ?

You are correct. For some reason the rather convoluted way in which the
program was handling the after posting process worked with V3. It should not
have.
