The purpose of AUTOINCREMENT is to guarantee that you never get the same primary key on two rows - even rows that have been deleted. If you don't need that property, (and apparently you do not since your question is how to override it) just omit the AUTOINCREMENT keyword. SQLite will then assign the next available integer to customorder, rather than an integer that has never been used before. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
