MySQL Primairy Key problem


Ok, I may be doing some thing wrong here. I have 2 tables and one form that inserts to the tables. When i fill in the form the first record gets inserted in to boath tables. but when i try to insert a 2nd record i get a "Duplicate entry '0' for key 1." error

I am using a php page that i developed in Dreamweaver MX. Both of the keys are named the same and are an decimal.

ANy ideas?

Wen i submit through the web page i get this error:
uplicate entry '0' for key 1

now i noticed using CocaMySQL that the pkey default value for the PKey is 0. If i change it to 1 or i can insert a nother row, then i get the same error message. If i chance it to 2 it will work again but then stops when a nother row is added. I can not change this default field. if i try i dont get an error but it defailst back to 0
MySQL 16:38:03] SHOW INDEX FROM `Venders`
[MySQL 16:38:15] ALTER TABLE `Venders` CHANGE `id` `id` decimal(10,0) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT ""
[MySQL 16:38:15] SHOW COLUMNS FROM `Venders`
[MySQL 16:38:15] SHOW INDEX FROM `Venders`

If i change it to Null i get:
[MySQL 16:39:39] ALTER TABLE `Venders` CHANGE `id` `id` decimal(10,0) NOT NULL DEFAULT NULL
[ERROR 16:39:39] Invalid default value for 'id'

Is there some Syntax that i am missing? i am fairly new to SQL in general.

Try :
Code:
ALTER TABLE `Venders` CHANGE `id` `id` decimal(10,0) NOT NULL auto_increment;
