No unless you drop the connection, but then it should give you a NULL. To quote M$ ==========8<============================================================= Remarks IDENT_CURRENT is similar to the Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 identity functions SCOPE_IDENTITY and @@IDENTITY. All three functions return last-generated identity values. However, the scope and session on which 'last' is defined in each of these functions differ. IDENT_CURRENT returns the last identity value generated for a specific table in any session and any scope. @@IDENTITY returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session, across all scopes. SCOPE_IDENTITY returns the last identity value generated for any table in the current session and the current scope. ==========8<============================================================= - -- Ti2GO, _______________________________________________ David | David Elliott | Software Engineer | _________________________| david@elliott.uk.com | PGP Key ID 0x650F4534 | | I didn't do it!
