I don't know about SQL server 7. However, when using MySQL (as indicated by your code), it will work. For instance, if your table is:
CREATE TABLE mytable ( myID int unsigned auto_increment, value2 int unsigned, value3 char(50) ) Then this will automatically increment myID: INSERT INTO mystable VALUES(NULL,123,"A text string"); INSERT INTO mystable VALUES(NULL,456,"A text string"); INSERT INTO mystable VALUES(NULL,789,"A text string"); -----Original Message----- From: Ricky Theil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 3:12 PM To: 'Rick Emery'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] HELP PLEASE!! Get query error when inserting into My Sql I was never able to assign a null value to get a row to automatically insert into SQL server 7. It would always give me an error that said something like "you cannot assign the value NULL to an identity field." -----Original Message----- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] HELP PLEASE!! Get query error when inserting into My Sql This also works: INSERT INTO vcstats VALUES( NULL,column2,column3,column4,column5) The NULL value will be replaced with theauto-incremented value in the table -----Original Message----- From: Ricky Theil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 10:26 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; Robby Whiteside; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] HELP PLEASE!! Get query error when inserting into My Sql If your first field is an auto insert field, then you have to do it like this: insert into tablename (column2,column3,column4,column5) values (value2,value3,value4,value5) The auto incremented field will be automatically be filled in with the next available value.

Get query error when inserting into MySql If any of the values you are trying to insert are not integers, you need to put single quotes around the variables, ie. $SCRIPT_NAME, $date, $BName, etc in the insert statement.
