| @@IDENTITY doesn't work across linked servers. You'll need to do a select on the table to get the information.Tara |

| @@identity is only valid for your connection - action on a linked server acts on a different connection to the other server (obviously).You can executed an SP on that server which returns the identity or do the insert via dynamic sql executed on the other server and return @identity from the same batch (sp_executesql). Think that will work.You could even have a linked server defined on the remote server to access tables on your server and execute your code there and return the identity.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
