  I think you are doing the insert using a raw sql. Instead do the insert inside a stored procedure and return the scope identity.

  I hope this solves your problem

  Thanks,

  That is not what triggers are ment to do !

  You can return the latest identity-value using SCOPE_IDENTITY ! Check BOL.
