Resolution

1. Identify the problematic MDB table from the error message.  It can be located right after the 'Error 1 on update, insert or delete done.' statement.  In the example above, it is the SPELL_MACRO table.

2.  Run the following SQL Query against the MDB database to identify the key value of the problematic table 

select * from kc where key_name like '%SPELL_MACRO%' 

3.  Run the following query against the SPELL_MACRO table to obtain the highest ID value

select * from splmac order by id desc

4.  Compare the values returned from the queries executed in Step #2 and Step #3 above.  If the value from the query in Step #2 above is lower than the value returned from the query in Step #3, proceed to the following step.

5. Extract the Key Name of the problematic table from the Key_Control table 

pdm_extract -f "select * from Key_Control where key_name='Spell_Macro'" > kc.txt

6.  Open the KC.TXT file in a text editor and modify the key_value to a number higher than the max ID value returned from the query in Step #3 above

7.  Save the revised file as KC_NEW.TXT 

8   Run the following command to load the revised file

pdm_userload -f kc_new.txt 

Reattempt to run the PDM_LOAD command.
