Using Scope_Identity with a SQLDataSource in ASP.NET

[blouie]

I'm combining a "SELECT Scope_Identity..." statement with an insert
statement in my InsertCommand. When I try to retrieve the value into a

variable, it generates an error stating that my collumn
"myScope_Identity" is invalid. If I run the SQL statements in Query
Analyzer, it works just fine. In Enterprise Manager, it does not
generate an error but it doesn't return any data back.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
