Database Erorr -2147217900 ID field

[Audra]

I am new at databases. I have figured out how to talk and write but now I have a new problem. I have an ID field in the SQL database that populates automatically. It shows up on the columns therefore I have to include the field on the write. But everytime I include the ID field I get this error

Possible reason(s):
Exception occured in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'data' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. in NI_Database_API.lvlib:Rec Create - Command.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlib:Cmd Execute.vi->NI_Database_API.lvlibB Tools Insert Data.vi->TS114Print.vi

Any idea on how to get around this? Most of the posting deal with invalid characters in the names I am sure that is not the case.

Please help

I have checked out those posts but the nameing is not the problem.

I don't understand why you think you have to include the id field in your insert.

[Audra]

If I don't include the id field I get this error -1. The only way I have found to get away from error -1 is to include all the columns in the data. The ID field shows up in the column read.

I don't use the toolkit and probably never will but you can certainly do an INSERT INTO command without using an id column. Use the lower level DB Tools Execute Query.

I got the database to work. I had to delete a column then input the info. Thanks for the help
