Couldn't you create a small stored procedure that will actually run the
select and subsequently increment the number? Therefore you simply can the

Hi Paul:
There are a few functional ways you could do this; however, for the sake
of simplicity and quick implementation, I would consider using an
IDENTITY column with an INT or NUMERIC data type. That will function
just like the auto num column for primary keys in an Access database.

Howard,
Thanks. I like the idea of doing it with a trigger.

Barring some other requirement that dictates otherwise, you'd be better off
to keep the incrementing function on the database. Use an insert trigger on
the table to update the row or make the field autoincrementing.
