>This assumes that the first column is the ID field. I'll have to play with getting return values from a VFP store procedure, but for now this will work. And, for some reason, it doesn't want to cast to an integer: int iRet = oleCmd.ExecuteScalar(); I'll have to play around with the syntax some more (even though it is shown this way in the docs).


What a confused post. I said one thing, thought another. When NewID('table') is the command being sent, everything works OK. There is only one value being returned, so life is good. I'll use this to prefetch my ID PK. If I use ExecuteScalar with my normal command string, it will assume the PK field is the first one, which I'm not thrilled about. So I think I'll just prefetch the ID.

I ended up using this code to translate the int:

int iID = int.Parse(oleCmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString(), System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any);
