Thanks, Sergey - that seems like a good idea. It made me think as well - I can probably use Alter Table ... drop/set default too. I'm just wondering which might be better.
On the other hand, I originally thought that I was getting this violation error because I had the default value, which turned out to be not the case, so now I'm wondering if my Insert Into statement wouldn't just override the NewID() function anyway, given that I'm stipulating the value of Zone #.

Anyway, you're a diamond, Sergey - don't go the way of all IT flesh and get run over by a bus :-)
