I think it supports transactions, if it does you should be able to do:

Guess it's still the way to do it in my case.

I used to make sure I set a field with a value that I could find again just after insert. SELECT the record, get the recid, and probably clear that field with an UPDATE to the record. It's been a few years, but this method should work whether you use ODBC or XML. -- sent from my iPhone4 -- Beverly Voth -- On Oct 21, 2013, at 12:39 PM, "Robert Shubert" <rshub...@tronics.com <mailto:rshub...@tronics.com> > wrote: @ACTIONRESULT is deprecated Usually you need to execute a second query to get the ID. I don’t know how to do that in FMP, but, for example, in SQL Server you execute “SELECT @@IDENTITY” immediately after an INSERT and it returns the auto-increment primary key of the record just inserted.
