Let's say I add a record to the ID table, thereby auto-incrementing its key. Now I need to retrieve that key value. How do I do that while retaining some semblance of data integrity? I'd have to do something like "SELECT MAX()", which fails to retrieve "my" value if someone else has inserted a record in the meantime. I don't, from Access, have the ability to throw a lock on the table (so far as I know). I guess maybe I could do that with pass-through queries, but I'm not sure.
