Pulling Auto-number

Guys,

Is there a way to pull the auto-number of a row entered into a database? IE, if I create an order, automatically pull the order_no from the order_table so that I can insert it into an order_detail table. There has to be a better way then selecting max order_id because that might not be the most current order?

I know there is a buiilt in function in php what about asp?

THanks

PHP Code:


		
			
 set con = server.createObject("ADODB.CONNECTION") 

con.open DATASOURCE

sql = "insert into tbl values(val1); " 

con.execute sql 



objAutoNum = con.execute("Select @@Identity from tbl")

strAutoNum = objAutoNum(0)



con.close

set con = nothing
