Thanks Helen

I assume that works. I think the problem was that my Keylinks.add was before assigning the SQL. I already had a prepare (sorry I should have shown that).

I have just loaded it manually for now and all seems fine..

i.e. UpdateQuery.ParambyName('WorkRef').AsFloat := UpdateQuery.GeneratorValue('WORKFILES_GEN', 1);


Thanks for all those who supplied. I will keep it in mind for next time :)

UpdateQuery.Keylinks.Add('WORKREF');
