When you define the SQL Server target table the column corresponding to the autonum column would be defined using identity:
create table a (ii int identity(1,1))
When you are transferring the data from access to SQL Server you need to use:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT a ON
If you are using DTS in Enterprise Manager, there is a checkbox corresponding to this SET statement.
