How to Auto Generate ID (Primary Key) SQL Database
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.
