I should have explained it better! what i mean is the row number the 
Insert was inserted into, in MySQL its a function called 
mysql_insert_id, eg..

row no.       data
3               Aston Villa
4               Man Utd.

if i inserted Arsenal next the row would be 5, thats what i want to 
return.  Is this possible in freetds or will i just have to do another 
query?

Thanks,
Shaun.
