Insert data from Microsoft Access to SharePoint list

Posted on by etharAli

Hello All,

I'm having difficulty inserting data through Microsoft access to the main table located on the SharePoint list. The issue is the ID field that automatically increments by one each time when the user inserts the data. I tried to insert the field as Null since automatically the number will be generated and saved when each row is inserted, but this didn't help the issue. Please see below screenshot of the error message:

Code for insert :

INSERT INTO Needles_Audit_Inspection ( ID, Title, Area )
VALUES (99, 'Title', 'Area');

Thanks,

Ethar.

Hi @etharAli ,

You cannot insert the ID - it is automatically generated by SharePoint sequentially for each new record and cannot be altered.

I need to insert data for the other fields but it doesn't let me do that. I removed the ID from the code, but I still get the same error message. Please see below ,

@etharAli ,

I found Access unreliable and often got strange messages like yours when I used it (which is not often now as there are much better solutions with Power Automate)
