Return the value of a auto incrementing field from Addnew rec

[acortez]

How can I possibly get the value from a newly inserted record in access db where the datafield type is autoincrement? I don't think querying for the newly inserted data is the best solution. or is it? -My application is written in VB using Access as the database.

I think you'll find you can read the value of the auto field as soon as you do the AddNew, before doing Update.

And if really you needto do Update
so you do:
rs.Update
And than

Rs.edit

and you can use, i'm sure the ID autoincrement
