You just need to specify your keys as unique when creating your files. If your files are created using DDS, you use the UNIQUE keyword; if they are created using SQL then there's a way too, but I don't know what it is. This will just ensure that keys are unique: that is, if you try to write a record that has the same key as a record that is already on the file, the database manager will generate an error. If you need something more complex than that, then you probably want to look into database triggers. HTH.
