Guess it's still the way to do it in my case. Wayne On 22/10/2013, at 6:24 AM, Beverly Voth <[email protected]> wrote: FileMaker doesn't return IDENTITY like SQL/MySQL. 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" <[email protected]> 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.

I'm doing an Insert action and would like to retrieve the ROWID of the new record Action:InsertRecord Results Action: <@ACTIONRESULT NAME="InsertRecord" NUM="1"> It is returning nothing.
