TClientDataSet, auto-increment fields

Question:

We want to add several records that contain auto-increment 

fields to the ClientDataSet and then apply it to the remote 

datamodule.  The key field is an auto-increment field.  How

is this done?

Answer:

You should be able to just leave this field blank on the

client application and it will be initialized when you call 

ApplyUpdates to insert the record.  If you need to see the 

generated value back on the client, call Refresh.
