I'm inserting a user into an access database where the userID is automatically created via autonumber. What is the easiest way for me to get that autonumber and created a variable for that autonumber? I'm coding in ASP (but I figured this would be a better place to ask)

When inserting into an auto-increment field, insert a NULL.

I'm not worried about the insert, I want to be able to get that autonumber for future reference, so after I've inserted it, I want to be able to call it with RS("ID")

run a search for it in the ASP forum. I'm sure it was discussed there various times.

instead of the userID and the date, you could also insert the ASP-sessionID if that suits you better ...
