Assigning a unique ID

I have an asp page in which the user completes some information and the data
is stored in an SQL database. I want to automatically assign an unique ID
number (can start with 1) to each record when the data is saved to the
database and display this number on the confirmation page.
This is probably much easier that I am making it. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,CREATE TABLE dbo.CustomerData
(
CustomerDataID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
SomeData VARCHAR(32)
)
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.AddCustomerData
@.SomeData VARCHAR(32),
@.CustomerDataID INT OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT dbo.CustomerData(SomeData) SELECT @.SomeData;
SET @.CustomerDataID = SCOPE_IDENTITY();
END
GO
DECLARE @.id INT;
EXEC dbo.AddCustomerData 'foo', @.id OUTPUT;
SELECT new_id = @.id;
SELECT CustomerDataID, SomeData FROM dbo.CustomerData;

Man, if they let me program fo rthe feds, look out...lol
Just trying to automate a process.
Let me ask this on the example from Aaron.
I get that dbo.CustomerData is my DB name (Compliance). My ID field is
called RequestID so is that CustomerDataID or SomeData? What would the othe
r
one be (the name of the table?).
Sorry, not a programmer by trade but I certainly appreciate the help...

CREATE TABLE dbo.CommunityService

Region VARCHAR(50),
EmployeeName VARCHAR(50),
CompletedBy VARCHAR(50),
Organization VARCHAR(125),
Contacts VARCHAR(50),
Phone VARCHAR(50),

CensusArea NTEXT,
ServiceType NTEXT,

END
GO

EXEC dbo.AddRequestID, @.id OUTPUT;
SELECT new_id = @.id;
SELECT RefNum, Region FROM dbo.CommunityService;
My question is that I am getting an error on Line 3 near ','. It all seems
OK so what am I missing?

Part of the code sample I sent. What does this mean?

You forgot to include your region parameter:
EXEC dbo.AddRequestID 'NorthEast', @.id OUTPUT;|||Cool. I added 'test" and changed my seed to 0. It worked wonderful.
Thanks and so sorry for the ignorance.
Have a great day Aaron.

One last question. What is I wanted to add a prefix to the ID. Is that
possible?
