KH's code above will start the IDentity values with 1 and increment by 1, by default. If you need to start elsewhere and increment by something else..create table tblCasCodeDef( CasCodeDefID int identity(500,5) not null, CasCodeDef char(100), CasDescription char(200), EngineeringFunction char(100), Primary Key (CasCodeDefID));
