Multi access in SQL Server

[ByB]

Hello,

I am working on an Access VBA application, working in client/server
mode, with a shared SQL Server base.

I have to INSERT some data in the base, and the know what is the ID
that SQL Server associated with my data in the table. So I need to do
the following

INSERT data INTO TABLE
SELECT MAX ID FROM TABLE (to get the ID)

but since I am working in client/server, if some DATA has been inserted
by another client after my INSERT, then MAX ID is not the convenient
ID of my data ...

Is there a way for me to get the ID when I do the INSERT, or to
lock/unlock the table before the INSERT and after the SELECT ?

Thank you for any hint about that.

It sounds like your table has the IDENTITY property. In such case, use
the function scope_identity() to retrieve last generated ID value.
