SELECT @@IDENTITY in Access always returning 0

Question

I have been trying to find a solution to this problem but so far nothing worked.

private void Insert()
    {
        string ConnectionStringAccess = Provider=Mic         


        

Answer 1

You are using the same command object for both the insert and retrieval of @@identity.

According to this article you should create a separate command object for retrieving the @@identity value:

Also, just to verify, the table you are inserting to does have an auto increment column, is that correct? If not, @@identity would not return anything.
