? about getting Primary Key for a batch insert *RESOLVED*

[vbdotnetboy]

ok guys and girls...i finally got my question figured out that i asked a few days ago, but now i have another one. if i add a record to the one table that has a PKey that autoincrements...is there a way to get the PKey to that record that i just added so that i can add records to another table where PKey is a FKey in that table....i hope that makes sense...i've posted the code as well so that you can see what is happening up to the point of where i want to perform this action that i'm asking about....sorry about the newbie questions....just so use to vb6 and old ado. also i delete some of the code that doesn't have anything to do with what i'm asking.

If you where using a sql server procedure you could return the new PK but seeing as your using something else the only way I can think of achieving this is to, after insertion select the last record inserted by dooing something like

"Select top 1 from myTbl order desc"

Ok this may not be the best way...and if anyone else has a suggestion i'm all ears however here's what i did in order to get the PKey after adding the new record so that i can do the batch insert
