How can I increment a field without using Autonumber,like reading from its last value and then increment it?I'm new to vb.NET and really need a detailed explanation

You can do it with a simple query. For example

UPDATE myTable
   SET numHours = numHours + 1
 WHERE empid = 23

If you need more details on how to execute the query please provide more details such as type of database, table and field info, connection type. I don't know your level of expertise.
