Re: Access - ODBC - serial problem...

I haven't tried this in Access, but why not fetch the record
identifier first then insert the record like below. Retrieving the id
first makes sure that you get the right id, because you might be in a
pooled connection environment, and you might not get the right id
after the insert.

SELECT nextval('schema.sequence_for_table_record_id') AS record_id;

INSERT INTO test (record_id,code) VALUES ([retrieved record_id],20);

or

INSERT INTO test (record_id,code) VALUES
(currval('schema.sequence_for_table_record_id'),20);
