Don't explicitly insert the autonumber, as the records are inserted they are assigned numbers by access (hence the name AUTOnumber). If that doesn't help, I'll have to see your code.

<div>
You can actually supply a value for the autonumber when running an Append query. &nbsp;Otherwise, conversions would be even more of a nightmare than they already are.<br />
<br />
Except for a conversion, you would never want to supply a value for the autonumber. &nbsp;That is the point. &nbsp;Access (actually Jet or ACE) provides the value automatically.<br />
<br />
You are not running the query in Access though so this isn't really an Access question. &nbsp;It is a question regarding the database engines Jet or ACE depending on whether you are using an .mdb or .accdb. &nbsp; <br />
<br />
I don't know if you can provide a value for the autonumber when you are using ADO.Net. &nbsp;You probably just want to remove the autonumber column from your insert statement since I doubt you are doing a conversion.

Visual Basic and access autonumber

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.
