BEGINNER QUESTION
 I have a table which has a compound primary key consisting of two columns.
 
 One of these columns is a foreign key which is generated in another table by
 an identity.
 
 I want to be able to generate the other primary key column value
 automatically when an insert occurs but assume that I cannot use an identity
 because it would have to be unique for this table.
 
 There will be potentially more than one user accessing this table so I want
 to avoid generating the key on the client side.
 
 How can I do this? Will it require some hardcore T-SQL?
 
 I hope this is clear (I suspect it isn't) I'd be happy to supply more info.
 I would be extremely grateful for any help!
 
 Mark.
