Re: Returning Sequence Numbers In VB

Yes I am using 8i. I put a returning line in my SQL string but VB didn't pick up the return value. Do you have an example of the code? If it makes a difference I'm using ADO.

If you are using 8i, you could also use INSERT INTO ... RETURNING ... with a bind variable to get the value back.
