Those two are incompatible. If you are using AUTO_NUMBER, it is not
the same as AUTO_SEQUENCE.

AUTO_NUMBER uses an Interchange file counter to assign the ids. This
doesn't work with the form-based insert.

AUTO_SEQUENCE uses MySQL auto_increment to do the same (or Postgres
sequences if that is used). It should work with the form.

If your table was built with this definition, you are not using
auto_increment.

You can rebuild your table using this:

    Database tablename AUTO_SEQUENCE code_seq

That will replace the two lines:

    Database  tablename  AUTO_NUMBER  00101
    Database  tablename  COLUMN_DEF   "code=INT(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY"
