Is there a way to get the autonumber of a newly inserted record?
I am working with unbound forms, and using an append query to insert a
record into a table. I am then using a select query that returns the max ID
(the autonumber field) of the table. This gives me the correct number.
However, could this go wrong in a multi-user environment. I insert a
record, and say it gets ID 10, but before (even thoug it is a split second)
I read the max value, someone else inserts a record with ID 11.
What I need is a way to get the nubmer of the record I have just inserted.

Hey!
I have an idea: Don't allocate the running number on form open-allocate the
running number on saving. You can do this with runningnumber = "select
max([Running Number]) from Table" + 1 (hope the syntax is correct). So you
have always the actual number. This also works in a network-client
database! I hope I help you - when you have problems, feel free to write!
Ps: Sorry for my bad english, I hope you know what I mean!
best wishes Philipp
Ok i think there is a way. When you write your record in the table, before

Indeed in a multi-user environment, the max value (autonumber ID) is not always *your* inserted record.
You will need an extra field UserID in YourTable. This will represent the person that inserted the record.
*Your* max value now is something like: Select Max(ID) FROM YourTable Where UserID = YourUserID

Hope this helps

The AutoNumber sequence in my database is currently formatted as
'000000'. When a new record is created, the AutoNumber would go from
000001, 000002, 000003 and so on. I want to track via AutoNumber the
year each record was created.
Basically, if a record was entered in 2003, the AutoNumber would look
something like 03-000001 and then 03-000002, and so on.
When a record would be entered in 2004, the AutoNumber would look

I have created a SQL string the properly inserts a record in the table.
However, the insert does not occur at the end of the table. Instead
it inserts a record after the last record that I viewed. This would be
OK, except it assigns a autonumber to be one greater than the last
viewed record. This causes a duplicate autonumber. I know I can
change the autonumber index (Primary Key) to not allow duplicates.

Hi,
Is there an "easy" way to write a full record (all fields) using "INSERT
INTO..." into a table which has an AutoNumber field?
Normally, to write a full new record I would use:
INSERT INTO VALUES (Value1, Value2, ...);
If (say) the first field (Value1) is an AutoNumber, what value can you put
that will preserve the auto-increment function?
