You shouldn't have added Cust in front of the number and you wouldn't have the problem. Add the field CustomerId that will be autoincremented and if you need the code, concatenate Cust + RIGHT('00000000' + id, your-fixed-needed-length) and you'll get (for fixed length 3) Cust001-Cust999. Expand as needed.
