Hi Bob, > SELECT idno ORDER BY idno DESC LIMIT 1; > assuming idno is what gets auto incremented
That's not the best idea - what happens if two users are inserting records into the table at nearly-but-not-quite the same time? 1. Insert A goes through 2. Insert B goes through 3. LastID A returns the ID of B 4. LastID B returns the ID of B Whoever did insert A would receive the wrong ID.
