Thanks zemp. I have checked out @@Identity but it will not be able to help me as I am interfacing with Access 97. My understanding is that this property is useful for when SQL Server is involved. Any other ideas?

Is there a way of retrieving the last record inserted into a database? I use the usual sqlstatement INSERT INTO myDeliveries ....... and then use the Execute statement to process the query. Some background: When a new record is created in myDeliveries, MS Access auto allocates a unique random...
