PROBLEM:
When I try to create an ODBC (Access) system table (the System Table checkbox on the Parameters tabpage is checked), I get an error saying that I have no primary index and cannot save the new table.

Why am I getting that error?

SOLUTION:
With Connectivity Kit 4.x, you need to create a "Recnum table" in order to create a system file.

To do that, check the "Recnum Table" checkbox in the "New Table" dialog (File | New Table | Advanced button). This way the system table will be created and no errors generated.
