What database are you using? What are the settings for the auto-generate column?

i am using ms access 2003 database. i am just using the autogenarate column directly from access as invoice number in vb.net when i am adding any data it automatically shows negative numbers like -1,-2,-3 and so on why this happenning i just dont understand

For an auto increment field in Access you should have

Field Size: Long Integer
New Values: Increment

does that match what you have? What is the value of that column in the first database record?
