sure thing.  It's a built in value that returns the last *numeric*
identity (from the field set as primary key) inserted. have a look at
the following
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref
/ts_globals_50u1.asp
 
Bear in mind that this gets the last ID inserted *only* - so if there's
concurrent updates you could be in trouble. Also it only copes with
numeric values....

        Yep, its an auto number.
        Could you expand a little on this identity value? How is it
used?
        
        Thanks!

        depends if its an auto number field or not.  SQL Server has an
@@identity
        value you can use.

              hi!
              
              in Access, when inserting a new record, all i had to do
was
              strUserID = RS.Fields("ID")
              before closing the RS, inorder to get that specific ID.
              
              is this doable in SQL as well?
              
              thanks!
              Moshe
