If you are using sql server try this...
<CFQUERY datasource="foo" name=bar">
SET NOCOUNT ON
INSERT INTO [yourtable](field1, field2)
VALUES ('text', 'text')
SELECT @@Identity AS newID
SET NOCOUNT OFF
</CFQUERY>
Should return the ID as
<CFOUTPUT query="bar">
#newID# <!--- should equal the new ID --->
</CFOUTPUT>
/* This works on SQL Server 2000 */

Subject: Returning IDs off a query...
I've been saving this question for a rainy day, and while it's not rainy, it
could be getting a little stormy...what is the best way to return a freshly
submitted ID from a cfquery? Should I use a getMax SQL function with
cftransaction tag pair around the insert and select queries or should I
retrieve the @@identity in a separate cfquery statement? Any takers?
Tyler
