I have created a data input page - tested this with an Access database locally on my machine, but when put live on an SQL Database the autonumber feature that worked within Access is not working.

Can anyone help me with this. Here is the code for my page. Currently I am getting an error as no ID is being passed and the SQL database is not auto generating this.

Many thanks for your help.

In the SQL Database did you set your column ID "identity seed" and "identity increment" values?

Yes I did - both set to 1 !?

Try posting your query in the SQL Server ASP forum

What is the exact error it is giving you?

Yes I did - both set to 1 !?

The error message I am getting is:-
__________________________________________________ _______

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'VacList2' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

/uptes_vac2.asp, line 115
__________________________________________________ _______

I have looked in the SQL Server Enterprise Manager to see where the IDENTITY_INSERT is, but cannor find it - it is probably something really basic that I am missing.

Thanks for any help

View the properties of the table and see if 'you set your column ID "identity seed" and "identity increment" values?' like jemacc said.

Yes I did - both set to 1 !?

What I now find is that if I clear the database and add a new entry, this works (and adds the next ID number), but then if I try to add another I get the error.

Any ideas anyone?

I have now figured it out. I had the Identity set to Yes (Not for Replication) - I changed this to Yes and it is now working fine!

I knew it would be something simple in the end :)
