Hi guys
In vb2008 i have a datagridview which is populated by a table in an Access database, the tables CustomerID field is an autonumber, how can i add a record to the datagridview and get the customerID column to autoincrement, i know that if i just add a record without filling in the customerID field then the record should be given a customerID number in the database but i need to see the customerID 's in the datagridview as a new record is added.

This is maybe the dirty way but it might be the quickest.
First insert a new record into the DB
Then Databind the Gridview so you have the last entry already made without any values.... that is to say if the fields are not marked as not Null.
(If so then enter a default value on the initial insert.)
Now udpate your gridview to db.
Try the following:
When the NEW RECORD button is clicked then do a sql query -> INSERT NEW ROW
Then run myGridView.Databind() with same datasource etc as previously used to display the data.
You will note that the last row is now empty with only the Primary Key filled.
Let the user then update the row you have just created.
Hope that makes sense.

How are you going to guarantee that another user hasn't inserted a record between the time you create that new record and the time you save it?
