Maybe someone can help me here..

I'm inserting data with an AUTO_INCREMENT column and immediately after I
need to use that new number for a corresponding record in another table.
How am I able to extract that new number quickly? I could run a SELECT
query after the INSERT using the MAX command, but if at a busy time
another record is entered while the first record was being entered, it's
possibly I may get the wrong number. If there a way to use the INSERT
command and extract the new AUTO_INCREMENT all in one command?

Any help is appreciated.

Andrew
