- did you set the GeneratorLinks property accordingly?
( entries in the form "mytable.myidcolumn=mygeneratorname" )

- if you have a "Before Insert" trigger on that table, does it have
"if ((myidfield is null) or (myidfield=0)) then
myidfield = gen_id(myidgenerator,1);"
in it?

(take a look at http://www.fingerbird.de/generatorguide.htm for more detailed
info on the subject of autoinc fields in Fb/IB, esp. with IBO.)
