I'm fairly good with SQL, but I really don't know a lot about MSSQL.

I have a new field: UID, char(10).  I'd like to fill it with a 10 
character incrementing "number"  i.e.,
"0000000000"
"0000000001"
"0000000002"
.... etc, up to the number of records currently in the file.

I could write a vfp program to create a view, and increment each number 
with PadL(transform(recno()),10,"0"), but I'd like to simply send an SQL 
script to users who already have this file on MSSQL.

Is there a simple way to do this in MSSQL, or is there an equivalent to 
recno() in MSSQL?  Thanks.
