SQL Server, can't insert null into primary key field?

I'm about ready to rip my hair out on this one. I'm fairly new to MS SQL, and haven't seen a similar post anywhere.

When I try to do a statement like this:

INSERT INTO qcRawMatTestCharacteristic 
VALUES(NULL, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,'','','', GETDATE(), 1)

I get the following:

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'iRawMatTestCharacteristicId', table 'Intranet.dbo.qcRawMatTestCharacteristic'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

I understand the error, but the null value is for my my primary field with an int data type.

Any ideas!?
