There are a few ways to do it, but only one reliable one: search the database for the info you have just entered.

There are a few ways you can retrieve the last created ID, but in a multi-user system they are not safe to use, as sometimes, a different user will get in just after you, and before you get the info. Intermittent bugs are no fun to find...

If you really need to get the ID from an automatically generated database field, then I would recommend not using automatically generated database fields in the first place. Use a GUID instead, as you then generate it and know exactly which record you are looking at.
