The **HasAutoInc **property is used to indicate indicate that the pending file operation is using an auto increnmenting key. Basically this means that when adding a new record to the file an insert operation is first performed which increments the key element. As the form is completed, the record is written again.

**Implementation:**

The AddKey method sets the HasAutoInc property to True if the AUTO attribute is detected.
