Does anyone have any ideas of how I can select the max value and insert the
next highest value?
I want something that would do something like this:
Insert into table1 (select max(field1)+1 from table1);
This obviously doesn't work.
I know if the table was set to auto-increment it wouldn't be an issue, but I
am not able to change its schema.
Thank you.

with a store procedure, something like:
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertNext ()
BEGIN
DECLARE myNext INT;
DECLARE cur_for_next CURSOR FOR
select coalesce( max(field1),0 ) +1 from table1;
OPEN cur_espacio_tanque;
FETCH cur_for_next INTO myNext;
CLOSE cur_espacio_tanque;
INSERT INTO table1 values ( myNext );
END;
y you call it
call InsertNext ();
may be can works
