I\'m writing a database in Microsoft Access to save the client from having to buy SQL Server.
How do you get the primary key of the row that I just inserted? In SQL Server,
All Access tables should have an AutoNumber field as the primary key field
Data entry into tables should be done via a bound form
Access is not intended to have a WAN in between the front end and back end files, and may not function correctly.
SQL Server should be used if the file size is expected to be near or beyond 2G, a large quantity of simultaneous users, a large quantity of Long Text fields, or if there are other requirements for a back end database - such as providing data to a web server. Access is a front end database and thus the tables are nearly entirely passive.
