Try this:


Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Alter your_table_name add ID int identity(1,1)
When you issue insert statement omit mentioning this column and number will be generated automatically.

Hi there I'm trying to find part serial numbers between 2 numbers. The user selects a part number from a combo box and then enters a range of serial numbers into 2 text boxes and the resulting query should find every machine that has that part number between the serial number range. The problem is that the serial number stored is a text field and the results are not what they should be.

Does anyone know how the following info is extracted from the user's computer by a Front Page form?

A project I'm working on is going to use VB6 as a front end. The back end is going to be pre-existing MS Access 2002 database tables which already have records in them *but do not have any AutoNumber* fields in them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming this means that I cannot now alter these existing Access tables and change their primary key to an "AutoNumber" type. If I'm right about this, I need some suggestions as to the...

But we have no idea how to generate a product key something look like Microsoft's product key. In addition, I would like to have the key generated based on their name and company name. Any idea on how to go about doing this using VB.NET? Thanks in advance.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
