Default Re: Identity In SQL VS Autonumber In Access

Use @@identity instead. If you have a trigger on the table that inserts
into a secont identity table, @@identity will have the value from that
table. This is why scope_identity() is usually recommended, since it
returns the most recently used identity value in the current scope.
