Solution 1

You can set the ID column to a primary key with identity turned off.

Then, whenever you insert a new record through VB
1) get the last ID.
2) parse the string to get the number at the right for e.g. 001 etc
3) increment it by 1
4) append the product code to this number for e.g. 'PD-' + 004
5) insert the new row
