Hi all,
I have a table that gets created from a query using
Select * INTO Table_Name.

How do I also add an autonumber column to this table ?

I know how to create the field using create table command
ie:CREATE TABLE t_test(
id INTEGER IDENTITY
PRIMARY KEY

But I can't use create table as I need the table populated from query results.. So I need to use Select INTO

Any help please.
Thx,
Ray.
