SEQKEY woes in multipart key (OpenInsight Specific)

I have an table with a two part key: MIN_NUM is a SEQKEY and NIM_YEAR defaults to the current year. The field in the form is to default to SEQKEY also. The SEQKEY counter will not advance. If I create a similar table and form with a one part key, the SEQKEY works correctly. It appears as though the SEQKEY does not work when it is part of a multipart key.
I'm running OI 3.7 on Win95.
Is this a bug in OI, or is there something I don't know?

Don,
I have heard of this issue … someone in technical support was working with a customer that had this problem. I am assuming it was found to be a bug, but I don't know for sure. I'll ask around.

Cameron,
Thanks. I really need the feature. I hope if there is a fix for it I can get it without having to subscribe to Works (my sub has expired and I don't have the budget to resubscribe at this point).

Don,
There isn't much to the SEQKEY feature were you to implement it yourself.
I am a little curious why you have a SEQKEY as part of a multi-part key. For each of the first part of the key do you want the SEQKEY to start from 1, such as:
A*1
A*2
B*1
B*2
or
A*1
A*2
B*3
B*4
