On my search for a function to retriew the NewID of an inserted row wich has an autoincrement I found this solution like the mysql_insert_id for an ODBC connection to MS-Access :
<?
// make your connection below
$Connection = odbc_connect(...);
$Result = odbc_exec($Connection, "select @@identity");
$NewID = odbc_result($Result, 1);
odbc_free_result($Result);
// make here all what you want with the NewID
odbc_close($Connection);
?>
In my mind this should also work with MS-SQL-Server and with Sybase - via ODBC and direct (mssql_.../sybase_...).
HTH ...
