I am using the code below to obtain a ID number for each record when it is 

submitted into the database...due to not wanting to use access's own ID 

generator (because certain  records will be deleted alot!!)



<object id="objcounters" runat="server" scope="application" 

progid="mswc.counters">

</object>





<%

if Request.Form("counter") = "yes" then 

objcounter.increment("response_yes")



problems - 1) is this the best way to give a record its own ID 



           2)apon opening web page im getting the following error





Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0134' 



Invalid ProgID attribute 



/default.asp, line 301 



The object has an invalid ProgID of 'mswc.counters'





is this due to not having the correct service pack installed ??..at the 

moment im running NT4 with service pack 3..  what is the minimum i can 

install???



im a bit new to all this....so any help would be greatly appriciated..

Check whether counters.dll and counters.txt is available.



Good Luck.



Anil.
