The label being filled by the initialized integer displays a "0",
which I am assuming is the default value for an Integer that hasn't
been filled. Intellisense says that ExecuteScalar returns an object.

I'm thinking I have to somehow load  myCommand.ExecuteScalar into a
datareader or some other object  and read that. . . .

Hope this is enough info. Just want to add a record to an Access
database and get the Autonumber back. . . . .
