Second, if you want to provide your own sequence of IDs, that's fine, but make sure that the type of data you are providing matches the field type you are adding it to. Your code above has quotes around the value being provided for id which marks it as a char type, or string, but I suspect that you probably have a numeric type in your table? -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi!
