adding row to access database with autoincrement column

Could you provide an example of the SQL you are using and provide the error message that you are getting when you attempt to append to the table?

The general syntax for an Insert (append) query is:

INSERT INTO yourTable (Field1, Field2, Field3)
Values (Value1, Value2, Value3)

In this instance Value1-3 would need to be delimited with quotes for strings or # for dates.  If Field#n is an Auto-increment field, then you should not include it in either of the rows of the Insert syntax

Here is the access procedure.

PARAMETERS [@ID] Long, [@WO_Number] Text ( 255 ), [@ItemID] Text ( 255 ), [@ItemGroup] Text ( 255 ), [@ItemDescription] Text ( 255 ), [@ItemQty] IEEEDouble, [@ItemCost] IEEEDouble, [@ItemPrice] IEEEDouble, [@ResidentCharge] Text ( 255 ), [@LastEditDate] DateTime, [@LastEditBy] Text ( 255 ), [@ItemHours] IEEEDouble;
INSERT INTO InspectionsDetails
VALUES ([@ID], [@WO_Number], [@ItemID], [@ItemGroup], [@ItemDescription], [@ItemQty], [@ItemCost], [@ItemPrice], [@ResidentCharge], [@LastEditDate], [@LastEditBy], [@ItemHours]);

This table does have a column call IdExternal that is a autoincrement, but I dont have the column mentioned in access procedure.

Here is the Vb.net code

Select Case ds.Tables(1).Rows(i).RowState
                    Case Is = DataRowState.Added
                        myCMD.Parameters.Clear()
                        With myCMD
                            .Connection = AccessConnection
                            .CommandText = "AddInspectionDetails"
                            .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ID", myRow.Item(0)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@WO_Number", myRow.Item(1)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemID", myRow.Item(2)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemGroup", myRow.Item(3)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemDesciption", myRow.Item(4)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemQty", myRow.Item(5)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemCost", myRow.Item(6)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemPrice", myRow.Item(7)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ResidentCharge", myRow.Item(8)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@LastEditDate", myRow.Item(9)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@LastEditBy", myRow.Item(10)))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemHours", myRow.Item(11)))
                        End With
                        Try
                            AccessConnection.Open()
                            myCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
                            AccessConnection.Close()
                        Catch ex As Exception
                            If AccessConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
                                AccessConnection.Close()
                            End If
                            MsgBox(ex.Message)
                            SaveInspectionDetails = False
                            Exit Function
                        End Try
                    Case Is = DataRowState.Modified
                        MsgBox("row modified")
                    Case Is = DataRowState.Deleted
                        '            MsgBox("row deleted")
                        With myCMD
                            .Connection = AccessConnection
                            .CommandText = "RemoveInspectionDetail"
                            .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@WONumber", Trim(myRow.Item(1, DataRowVersion.Original))))
                            .Parameters.Add(New OleDbParameter("@ItemID", myRow.Item(2, DataRowVersion.Original)))
                        End With
                        AccessConnection.Open()
                        myCMD.ExecuteNonQuery()
                        AccessConnection.Close()
                        '  myRow.AcceptChanges()
                    Case Is = DataRowState.Unchanged
                        '            MsgBox("row unchanged")
                End Select
            Next
            SaveInspectionDetails = True

        Catch ex As Exception

            If AccessConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
                AccessConnection.Close()
            End If
            MsgBox(ex.Message)
            SaveInspectionDetails = False
        End Try

thanks

that did it, thank you
