I am unable to figure out when creating a SQL table, how to declare a variable to have a character in place and be able to insert numbers after it.

For example, Item Number B12345

I don’t know the syntax for creating that from the SQL promt when typing, ‘insert into table_name (Item_Number _______)’ and getting the syntax right.

Thank you,
Eric

With ADODB you will find you can locate the last inserted ID with the function Insert_ID() if auto numbering is supported with the database (eg, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL).
