    Yes, that's the whole point. That is what an IDENTITY field in SQL Server is. And when you use autoincremented fields you can't rely on the MAX value to be the one you inserted: you do your INSERT, then two dozen other users add their own before you issue your SELECT. YOur MAX then fetches the ID for a totally different row, and you start to get intermittent problems that are fiendishly difficult to duplicate, track down, fix, and prove. Using SCOPE_IDENTITY returns the last autoincremented value used by that connection, and will never return values from different users.

    OK well sir and I just found her in my research, are I adapting well to my code?
      using (OleDbCommand cmd1 = sql_con.CreateCommand ())
                         {
                            
                             cmd1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Orders (amount_com) VALUES (@montant_com)";
                             cmd1.CommandText = "SELECT @@ IDENTITY";
                             int id = Convert.ToInt32 (cmd1.ExecuteScalar ());
                             cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue ("@ amount_com", TxtTotalCmd.Text);
                             cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery ();
                         }

      Stop guessing. Start thinking. Look at your code and tell me what is wrong with it. Where have we seen that problem before?

        Ok my apologies, this is the error I get

        using (OleDbCommand cmd1 = sql_con.CreateCommand())
        {

                            cmd1.CommandText = "INSERT INTO Commandes (montant\_com) VALUES (@montant\_com);" + "SELECT SCOPE\_IDENTITY()";
                           
                            int id;
                            cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@montant\_com", TxtTotalCmd.Text);
                          
                            cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();
                            id = (int)cmd1.ExecuteScalar();

            OK, the edited version makes a little more sense. You need to split your command into two: Do the INSERT, then build a new Command to do the SELECT (some DB engines don't like command chaining). As long as you use the same connection and you don't close it in between the INSERT and SELECT, you'll be fine.

                  Ah. That makes a difference. Access doesn't support SCOPE_IDENTITY: You need to use @@IDENTITY instead.

                                    Stop guessing, and start thinking. When is the ID actually created? What line of code causes that to happen?

                                        Yes, that's fine - you don't need the "AS LastID" because ExecuteScalar doesn't return labels, but it doesn't matter if you add it.
