Posted by brad_the_beast99, 06-02-2009, 01:01 PM Hi All, FACTS: > I've created a VB.NET 2005 form, with a SQL Server 2000 backend > The form has about 30 fields that populate 30 columns in the SQL database > The form has mostly text feilds, with standard info such as Customer, order Number, etc. > Im trying to autopopulate one of the feilds on the form, called Reference Number. > The SQL column on the backend auto increments fine > The Reference Numbercolumn has identity specification 'Yes', Increment '1', etc. WHAT IS WORKING: > I fill out all the fields on the .aspx form, it populates the database fine > The Reference number auto increments by 1, which is great WHAT I WANT: > Employee should be able to launch the form, and have the Reference Number field auto populate on the form. QUESTION: > Should the Reference Number part of the VB.NET web form be a label? A text box accepts input from a user... but in the case of the Reference Number, the user should have it automatically populated open launching the page. sounds like a label to me. Any help, code samples would be appreciated. Thanks, Best, Brad
