Sequencial ID by Date

I want to assign a job number for a user request form. Our dept. wants the job number to be reset everyday. Like say for example, if there are some job requests today it will get the number assigned sequentially 1, 2, 3, 4 �and it will follow as many requests are there for today. But tomorrow the job requests have to start with number 1, 2, 3, 4 �. So, everyday the job number will reset to one. I am having problem.
I am trying to compare the today�s date with the date of the last record entered in the database, but getting errors.
Any Help!
Thanks

You'll need to provide a great deal more detail regarding the nature of the errors before anyone can begin to help you.

And as this really has nothing to do with JSP, I'm moving this to the JDBC forum.

Thanks. I am showing the code.

<%
// define variables and assign values to variables
String Client_Time = request.getParameter("Client_Time"); //Value: new java.util.Date() Getting the system date and time from the client

int Day_id = 0; //initialized the day it

//load the MS Access JDBC driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

//check the date and increment the day id if already a id exist by that date
while(rs1.first()){
String pre_request_Date= rs1.getString("request_Date");

Day_id = 1;
}
else{
Day_id = Day_id +1;

//Print to Browser

System.out.println(jsql2);
