Last identity problems

[Vaderman]

I've setup a method that I would like to get the last identity of a table NOT the last identity overall. If working with SQL 2000+ I can use:

IDENT_CURRENT('<TableName>')

This would return me the last identity inserted on the named table. Is there an equivalent using M$ Jet 4+?

At the moment I am using the following:

SELECT @@Identity FROM <TableName>  AS UID

But this will only give me the LAST INSERTED ID overall in the database.

I'd try SELECT MAX(IdName) FROM TableName.

There are other methods described at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/ge...unique-id.html and http://objectsharp.com/blogs/bruce/articles/210.aspx
