Assuming you're using SQL Server 2000, just place

SET IDENTITY_INSERT <tablename> ON

at the beginning of your SQL and

SET IDENTITY_INSERT <tablename> OFF

at the end

I'm doing a data transfer from Access to SQL Server, I wish to keep the identity column (autonumber) values as all the data is already related. I tried the first table append query including the identity column, it worked. Was this fluke? Will it always work? I was under the impression that I would have to issue a "set identity_insert on" before doing this. The SQL database will have absolutely no data before the transfer routines are run.

Hi all I am trying to copy data from one database server to another. I only want to copy one table's data, not the entire database.

Would there be anything else I could do at this point? ...
