You can't find out what it *will be* until you actually create the record. Then you get the like this: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(); Check the discussion for LAST_INSERT_ID() in the MySQL manual. It will tell you the answer to your next question. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
