| Have you tried specifying the columns in your INSERT statement?Like this:INSERT INTO MyTable (col1, col2) VALUES (3580,'06/07/2009')Not sure if it'll work but it's something to try.Some days you're the dog, and some days you're the fire hydrant. |

It's normally a really, really bad idea to insert into an IDENTITY column. Why are you trying to do so?--Jeff Moden
