What is the SQL code to mimic an AutoNumber field like in Access.
Access 2002 and SQL 2000 Server.

I have an Access database (MDB) that have linked tables that resided in SQL.
In Access, there is a field of a type AutoNumber, but not in SQL.
What is SQL code for a trigger for a field named "RecordID" so that everytime a new
record is added, it gives an increment number to RecordID.
