Auto-increment primary key in SQL tables

Viewed 184911

Using Sql Express Management Studio 2008 GUI (not with coding), how can I make a primary key auto-incremented?

Let me explain: there is a table which has a column named "id" and the items of this column are set to be primary keys. I want to make this column auto-incremented, but how?

Cheers

for those who are having the issue of it still not letting you save once it is changed according to answer below, do the following:

tools -> options -> designers -> Table and Database Designers -> uncheck "prevent saving changes that require table re-creation" box -> OK

and try to save as it should work now
