I try tochange the TableLevel from 4 to 7 but, i got a very funny
errormessage! "B
What does it mean?

I attach a pix about it.

Is this a Lazarus Windows 7 64 bit error?
Does it work with TableLevel 7 in  Lazarus with 32 bit Windows 7?

Lazarus 1.0.12 r42478 FPC 2.6.2 x86_64-win64-win32/win64

IIRC, this is an error in TDBF as supplied with FPC 2.6.2 - perhaps to
do with character encoding but TBH I cannot remember.
Edit: you may want to set the languageid property before creating the
dbf in order to influence what codepage is used; perhaps that works
for you.

You could try using tablelevel 25 (FoxPro) or use FPC 2.7.1...

Note: your description suggests you may be trying to switch tablelevel
from an already existing tablelevel 4 to 7? That is not supported.

It's not easy to ask an educated question, to the Forum,when You not
edjucated and only Selfmade!

I tested TableLevel 25, thow it would allow Auto Increment fields but,
it wouldn't work with autoincrement field at all! There is a new bug.

About your English: I've got no problem with it... I can read French
if that helps... so if you want to post a French description below
your English, please feel free.

I understand about the self education - I have the same thing myself.
It often helps to include code or even the source code for a sample
project... as well as indicate what goal you are trying to achieve at
a higher level (e.g. I want to convert an existing dbf to another
format or I want to write to a DBF format that supports autonumber
etc).
