Identity columns
are commonly used as primary keys in database tables.  These columns
automatically assign a value for each new row inserted.  But what if you
want to insert your own value into the column?  It's actually very easy to
do.

I was looking for that as well, no just one more thing and I am home free.

How do you ignore constraints and triggers? The I can upsize my data from access without using the upsizing wizard and have my tables set up correctly right out the gate.

Great, this is really useful. DBCC CHECKIDENT is another useful utility to work with IDENTITY columns.

KBM, you can disable constraints and triggers but I'm not sure you can ignore them. You'd have to disable them, do the insert and then enable them.

Graz, Can you disable them Globally or do you have to do each one specifically?

You have to do it per constraint as far as I know. I'd go through books online on constraints for more details. There may be an option to ignore constraints buried in BULK INSERT or the SSIS bulk insert task. If there is I don't remember it.
