Any clues as to how to resolve this? Is it possible that you are inserting the record with one connection, and then selecting LAST_INSERT_ID() with another connection? Also, there's no need to use 'distinct' - you will only ever get one record ( as far as I know ). Actually, I don't think you need a 'from' clause either, ie it doesn't affect the result. You only ever get the *very* last inserted ID returned. --
