I want to know value of AutoNumber field after update in ADO model.

[malnus]

I am using a ADO recordset, in which one field is AudotNumber. When I add a new record to the recordset, after updating the recordset, I want to display the value of AutoNumber field, using Msgbox. But this does not show it by any mean. Please help me.

Here is an example code

' These are the fields in the cursor
' StudentID AutoNumber
' Name Character(30)
' FName Character(30)
' Caste Character(20)
' I am using MS-Access database.

RS.Addnew
RS.Fields("Name")=txtName
RS.Fields("FName")=txtFName
RS.Fields("Caste")=txtCaste
RS.Update
MsgBox RS.Fields("StudentID")

But a blank MSBOX is is displayed. How can I solve this problem.

Thanks in advance.

RS.Addnew 
RS.Fields("Name")=txtName 
RS.Fields("FName")=txtFName 
RS.Fields("Caste")=txtCaste 
RS.Update 
RS.CLOSE
RS.OPEN "SELECT MAX(StudentID) as MAXID FROM TABLE",DB
Msgbox RS.Fields("MAXID")

Hope this helps

You could also do this as well.

dim studentId as long

RS.Addnew
studentId = RS.Fields("StudentID")
RS.Fields("Name")=txtName
RS.Fields("FName")=txtFName
RS.Fields("Caste")=txtCaste
RS.Update
Msgbox studentId
