Thanks for showing the code and saying what database you're using. If your DB has triggers there is your answer.

If that record that was just inserted meets certain criteria, I want to update another record in another table with that autoincremented primary key....at first I thought I would just have a cfquery after my insert stmt capturing the max(autoincremeted) field....however I am afraid that if another user is also inserting into that table at the same time, I could mistakely capture their record instead of the one I just created....Hope that makes sense..... Does anyone have any ideas how I could "lock" my record to make sure I update the other table with the right autoincremented field...? Thanks for the help again!
