[AccessD] Getting the PK of a SQL Server table

In an Access database the PKID (autonumber) of a table is available the
instant after doing the insert or AddNew, so I would use code such as:
 
    With RS
        .Open "usystbllwsLog", gcnn, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic
        'build a logout record.
        .AddNew
        !LWSL_IDLWSU = mlngUserID
        !LWSL_FE = CurrentProject.name
        !LWSL_Login = blnLogIn
        !LWSL_WorkstationID = CurrentMachineName()
        mlngLogID = !LWSL_ID
        .Update
        .Close
    End With

the code line
 
        mlngLogID = !LWSL_ID

fails when used in SQL Server because the ID is not yet valid.  How do I
work around this when the table is out in SQL Server?
