Auto Identity Record from Table

Hi All,

I have a function that creates a new customer record however, I need it to return the customer ID.

I have attached the current code which I thought was okay however, I am getting an error on line 27. The identity field is the customer ID and is an auto number field.

Can anyone help me work this through?

CF

Public Function createCustomer(uTxtNewCompanyName As String, uTxtLastName As String, uTxtFirstName As String, uTxtEmailAddress As String, _
uTxtJobTitle As String, uTxtBusinessPhone As Long, uTxtMobilePhone As Long, uTxtFaxNumber As Long, uTxtAddress As String, _
uTxtCity As String, uTxtStateProvince As String, uTxtZIPPostalCode As Long, uTxtCountryRegion As String, uTxtWebPage As String) As Long
    'Creates a new customer in system
    'RETURNS the new customer id
    
    Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
    Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection
    Set Conn = CurrentProject.AccessConnection
    Dim strSQL As String
    Dim vCreationDTS As Date
    Dim vLastUpdateDTS As Date
        
    vCreationDTS = Now
    vLastUpdateDTS = Now

    strSQL = "INSERT INTO TBL_CUSTOMER (Company, LastName, FirstName, EmailAddress, JobTitle, BusinessPhone, MobilePhone, " & _
    "FaxNumber, Address, City, StateProvince, PostCode, CountryRegion, WebPage, CreationDTS) " & _
    "SELECT '" & uTxtNewCompanyName & "' AS Company, '" & uTxtLastName & "' AS LastName, '" & uTxtFirstName & "'" & _
    " AS FirstName, '" & uTxtEmailAddress & "' AS EmailAddress, '" & uTxtJobTitle & "' AS JobTitle, " & uTxtBusinessPhone & _
    " AS BusinessPhone, " & uTxtMobilePhone & " AS MobilePhone, " & uTxtFaxNumber & " " & _
    " AS FaxNumber, '" & uTxtAddress & "' AS Address, '" & uTxtCity & "' AS City, '" & uTxtStateProvince & "' AS StateProvince, " & uTxtZIPPostalCode & "" & _
    " AS PostCode, '" & uTxtCountryRegion & "' AS CountryRegion, '" & uTxtWebPage & "' AS WebPage, '" & vCreationDTS & "' AS CreationDTS"
    rs.Open strSQL, Conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
    Set rs = Nothing

    strSQL = "SELECT @@IDENTITY FROM TBL_CUSTOMER"
    rs.Open strSQL, Conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic

    createCustomer = rs(0)
    Set rs = Nothing

End Function
