I haven't used this method in a long time because now I use UUID()s as my unique record identifier and since I create the UUID before I do the Insert, I have access to it.
I don't have the syntax handy, but are you using the SET NOCOUNT ON and SET NOCOUNT OFF? That might be it. FWIW, I have read some research that @@IDENTITY will not always provide you with the proper ID, especially in multi-user environments (which the web most certainly is) and leaves the possibility of returning the wrong IDENTITY id. This is why I switched to using UUID's.

If the insert created a AractivityNoteID= 295256, the select @@identity returns 295256 rows with the same value, 295256.
