IDENT_CURRENT help

3 New Member
I am using IDENT_CURRENT to get the id of a record from a table and using it somewhere else (for data insertion, updating). I understand that this not correct from a multi-user perspective since another user can access the same table and all hell can break loose.

My question is this :
If I surround the SQL code using all my inserts and updates with transactions will it guarantee that data will not be corrupted?

eg.

BEGIN TRANSACTION Blah

// SQL code using IDENT_CURRENT

IF @@ERROR > 0
BEGIN
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION Blah
RETURN 99
END

COMMIT TRANSACTION Blah


I will appreciate help on this.

Thank you

I think you should be fine. But a rigid testing of your app could prove me wrong.

Hi, can somebody explain me, why the IDENT_CURRENT from an empty table is 1? After insert of the first record it is still 1 (assuming that start value is 1) which is okay. But if i check the IDENT_CURRENT from a newly created table the result should be NULL, or not? bye, Helmut

Missing Help Files When I enter "recordset" as the keyword and search the Visual Basic Help index, I get many topics of interest in the resulting list. But there isn't any information available from clicking on many of the available topics (mostly methods but some properties are also unavailable). This same problem occurs with many, if not most, keywords. Is there any way I can activate these "missing" help topics? HELP!

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
