[AccessD] New ID/Autonumber value

Hi Andrew and Stuart et al

I'm confused!

It is safer as  @@Identity is linked only to the connection (or transaction)

Otherwise you are risking that another user will insert a record in-between
adding and retrieving the ID of the record added by the first user.
 
I'm not sure if that is a risk using the other methods mentioned on this
list, however I *do* now that with @@Identity there is no risk of this
happening.

So now, what to believe?
