Returning a value to VBA Variable

Hi

Im executing an Insert SQL statment (using DoCMD.RunSQL) into an Access database from VBA. The table that it inserts the data into has an Autonumber field.

I would like the database to return the value of the autonumber field and to store it in a variable in VBA

How can i do this?

Thanks Si

I have not tried to return an autonumber from a SQL INSERT statement, but when you do an ADO or DAO AddNew and assign a variable to a field, the autonumber is then available. ie

.
.
rs.AddNew
rs!MyField = "something"
.
.
iNumber = rs!myAutoNumber
.
.
rs.Update
.
.
