How hard would it be to allow for user prompted invoice numbers instead of auto generated?  I've changed the 'Is identity' specification in the database but I'm floored by the code when I open it up in VS2005.  For one, it pops up without 7000 errors that keep me from being able to switch from source mode to design mode.  I would like to simply add a textbox where the id_invoice label is and use my own invoice numbers.  Sounds ridiculous I know.  Any clues are appreciated...

bbauer,

Off the top of my head, it seems like user-generated invoice numbers (as long as they are integers and unique), should be reasonably simple to implement using the approach you mentioned. You would have to check for uniqueness before inserting or updating, of course.

The errors you're experiencing in VS 2005 are very unusual. Can you send me a screen shot of the errors? Obviously it works for a lot of our customers who customize DNI, so it has to be a conflict with something on your machine.
