DefaultExpression does not seem to work on dynamic fields ....

[Karen99]

table1.fields[0].DefaultExpression does not seem to work. I am using delphi 5 and paradox 7.

It does work if I type the defaultexpression in on a persistent field.
Eg. this work : Table1ClientNr.DefaultExpression.
But this also just work if I type the value in at design time. Delphi does not pick this up automatically if I add a persistent field.

It seems that Delphi does not pick this information up from Paradox ? Can anybody tell me why ? The same seems to happen to maxvalue and minvalue.

Please help !!!

When you assign something to the DefaultExpression make sure that the Active property of the table is set to False.

Once the DefaultExpression is assigned you can open the table.
