Field UniqueID in SCX and VCX

[KoenPiller]

Hi,

When I browse VCX files I notice that the field UniqueID is not so unique as one would expect. Viz you will find numerous "RESERVED" in the same file. Now I also have a class with "FONTINFO" in the field UniqueID. Is this "by design" and is there a solution to ensure the field is truly unique?

KoenPiller,
Can I ask what you are trying to achieve? I think these are carry over, and if they needed to be truely unique Fox would certainly make them so... there's no need for you to make them unique.



Best Regards,
Scott

Koen,

You're right. The UniqueID has never held a unique ID. That's true of several of the meta tables, not just VCXs.

Does it matter?

Mike

Mike, Scott,

OK UniqueID is not what it says, I will have to find an other solution. Pitty.

Thanks for replying,

Koen
