Do you mean to add the "@@RowCOUNT as RowsUpdated;" to my SQL update?

That is, would my SQL update command look like this:

cSqlUpdate = "update mytable set field1 = '1233' where id_field = 'ABC';select @@RowCOUNT as RowsUpdated"

I used a semi-colon to separate two statement. Is this correct?

UPDATE. I checked and it works. Thank you!
