This sounds like it must be related to this--I do have GeneratorLinks
set at the connection for table and the ID's causing the problem. But
it only causes the problem occasionally.

I do need the ID in the import utility for detail record IDs--that is
why I calling Connection.Gen_ID('GEN_NAME', 1)--am using the value.

So trying to determine what is happening and a solution:

1) Why might this be only happening occasionally?

2) I could clear all of the generator links while the data is being
imported, then restore it--but I really don't like doing that. Is
there another option? For example, can I explicity turn off generator
link settings for the dsql performing the insert?

Thanks.
