Scott,

You can use SPT to retrieve the assigned identity value. After issuing the TABLEUPDATE() use something like this:

c = CURSORGETPROP('CONNECTHANDLE', 'view_name_goes_here')
r = SQLEXEC(c, [SELECT @@IDENTITY], 'identity')

There should be a cursor that contains the new identity value. You must execute the SPT query on the same connection that the view is using. @@IDENTITY is scoped to the connection. Also, @@IDENTITY contains the value of the last identity column assigned. If your remote table has a trigger that inserts a row into another table the has a identity column, @@IDENTITY will contain the value for that table, not the table that you're manipulating.
