Is that definately true with the select insert as I exampled? I imagine (but that is all I do, quite willing to be wrong) that the single SQL statement must complete before another is allowed to run..? I.e. I imagine that this SQL will not run into the problem you describe: INSERT INTO myTable (id, title) SELECT Max(id) + 1, 'Some title' FROM myTable Cheers, Dominic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295204 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
