Please find below the requested turnkey.

The turnkey uses the fish table in dbasesamples database,
but before you test the code below you should set the
default for the 'Length CM' field to 0.

This bug is only present when you set the cacheUpdates to
true. Whilst testing this code, I also noticed the 'ID'
field, which is an autoincrement field, shows zero when
cacheupdate is set to true and empty field when set to
false.

Removing the "cacheUpdates = true" line will allow default
values.

I hope the info amd turnkey are sufficient for your test.

Turnkey? There's a datamodule. That's not a turnkey.

Rather than modify my sample tables, I created a new table, with a
character field, a numeric field, and another character field. I set
the numeric field's default to zero.

I have an existing database for the test folder, so I opened that, and
dragged the test table to the design surface.

For the database object, I set the cacheUpdates property to true.
Added a grid, datalinked the test table to it,
ran the form ...

I can see the problem. (This is the kind of thing I need for a bug
report -- step-by-step ...)

I have entered QAID: 4714 for this.

I'm always very happy to help and report bugs whenever
possible, but I can't spend my time writing a user guide on
how to track a bug in your software each time I detect a
bug.

It takes quite sometimes, hours and even days, before we
realise it might be a bug that's causing our
program/application to misbehave. So, it isn't as though it
takes few seconds to discover, but we're absolutely witless
by the time we discover it is a bug.

I've provided a turnkey with instructions to help you
re-create the problem.

Although I understand you have to sift through quite a lot
of messages and try to understand the meaning of what has
been reported by many users. I do, however, think it is a
bit much to ask for instructions to be written in a syntax
of your choice.
