Well, you should be using scope_identity for one, not @@identity. Will your insert alway be a single row insert? I am sure you will no doubt have to update the record after insert, though you may be able to do it in one go... I will have to investigate.

And now I'm wondering... would this, or something similar, work inside an insert statement? I'm working on some insert code right now and one of the fields is a notes field that I'm storing some HTML, including (possibly) a path to an image that would be based on the record ID, ie; /path/to/###/record/image.jpg I know it's a bit redundant, and that I could make an image field in the table and automate the appearance of the image through code, but I was wondering if there was anything in the SQL insert statement that would be aware of the impending unique ID that I could use.
