Linked database - mysql & msaccess - autonumber problems.

Hi There,

I hope you can help with this problem I have been having. I have linked
tables from a mysql database and an access database. One of the fields (my
primary key field) is an auto increment in mysql but once I link it to the
access the auto increment field property is lost. This is the case with all
the autoincrement fields that I have linked tables with.
When I add a new record, I have to manually put in the autonumber field and
this is problemetic when I have a lot of tables that are related and many
records. I wanted to know what are the work arounds for this.
Is their something I can put in the access field if a new record is entered
so that I can get the next value ( orginal # + 1) to appear for the new
record.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
