Ben,

Were you able to include this change into the latest build?

thanks

Paul

No problem, Paul.

Thanks Ben

Well, right now, guid pks are configured to allow you to change their values, hence why we have parameters for PK and PK_ORG (_ORG for "original").  I'll looking at modifying the business objects to allow you to exclude fields from the updates (we some more users that need the same functionality), which won't be a drastic change, and will likely be included with the update next week (when we release the DevExpress wrapper, BOMapper changes, etc.).

The error comes from the update statement containing the guid field, this makes sense as you would not want this be able to change as it would really mess up replication.

 For instance Update mytable set guidfld = 'whatever it was' , datafld = 1 where guidfld = 'whateverit was'  would fail however,  update mytable set  datafld = 1 where guidfld = 'whateverit was'  would be ok .

What would be the best way to handle this from Strataframe?

The Pk column.I figured since I needed it for replication why not use it as a PK

Does the table have another guid that the replication is using for synchronization, or is the pk column the guid column that is being used for replication?

I have set up Merge Replication in Sql 2005. I am able to inset a record without any issues however when I update I get the following error. I am using a guid coluumn as my PK. Any Ideas?
