Thanks for at least trying to answer the question! Unfortunately, your
suggestion:

set identity_insert BSAVA_Archive_Test_2006.dbo.GPS_CHAR OFF

returns the error:

'BSAVA_Archive_Test_2006.dbo.GPS_CHAR' is not a user table. Cannot
perform SET operation.

Since the intent of the operation is to create an archive database
(which is, for this purpose, read-only) I have removed the IDENTITY
attribute from the fldUserID column.

However, I'm still interested to know why this has happened, if anyone
has any ideas!
