IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

Question

I have a dynamic site.
When I insert an integer (a whole number) in a raw materials purchase table, I get the following message:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'tblRawMatlPurch' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.           
When I change to or insert a numeric, decimal, or money value, I get the following message:
Raw Materials Decision
Company:  Grande
You have NOT successfully submitted the Raw Materials Decision form
Please note that the purchase amount must be a whole number, please do not enter a decimal for this number.
Return to correct
I have two programs: one is in the secure section, and the name is secure/raw_materials_decision_action, indicating that the raw material purchase variable (rawMat) is a money variable. Giving this information I set it in SQL as a money variable. Here is the file:
<!---  get Company Name --->

  </cfquery>
  </cfif>
  </cfif>
  </cfif>
  </cfif>
  </cfloop>
</cfif>
However, I have a second program in the files section: the raw material decision, which indicates that the variable must be an integer (a whole number).

I understand there is a conflict between the secure/raw_materials_decision_action program and the raw materials decision program, except, that I do not know how to fix it.
Perhaps, I could change, the raw materials variable from money to integer. But, I am not sure this will solve the problem.
Alternatively, I could try to change the raw_materials_decision, specification, to accept a decimal, numeric, or money variable, but, I have been revieweing the file, and I do not know how to make this change.
It is not obvious to me.
Is there anyone who could help with this problem to find a best possible solution?
I would appreciate the assistance very much.
Thank you.

Answer 1

TL;DR. The error you are receiving is from SQL. Identity fields are auto-assigned by the SQL server and you are sending a prepopulated value, thus the error. I can't really tell you how to easily fix this because I'm not sure what the app is trying to do nor do I know the underlying database schema. The most likely solution is to not send the identity value in your insert query and then use select @@identity if you require the auto-assigned value.
