Is it possible to show database record number on confirmation 2

[NewGirl999]

I'm working with SQL and Frontpage and have a form for staff to report computer faults to the helpdesk. The form works really well and displays a confirmation page after submission. I've been asked to show the record ID or another sequential number on the confirmation page but I can't work out how to do this.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

If it is the last record the SQL is

select count(*) from table;

It really depends on whether your record IDs from 1 or from some other number. If they start from say 20, then you'll need to add 20 to the count.

I can see a problem with that query. If another user creates an entry before the query is run, the count will be higher than expected.

You would need something more specific, such as

SELECT RecordID FROM TableName WHERE username = 'abc' AND ReportTime = '12:00:00'

Essentially, it all depends on how the table is set up and what columns are used.
