Simple SQL Statement not working through AutoIT

[BigDaddyO]

I am trying to use the sql statement IDENT_CURRENT('Table_Name') but it doesn't return anything but a diamond symbol. I am connecting to a SQL 2005 Trial edition. "It's supposed to act like the Enterprise edition"

I am able to create new records, read records, modify and delete records, but for some reason this IDENT_CURRENT will not work.

Here is the code I use that will give me a Diamond symbol, I have tried a lot of other combinations that just gave me errors.

$sqlCon = ObjCreate("ADODB.Connection")
$sqlCon.Open("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=QACOMM;Trusted_Connection=yes;")
$current = $sqlCon.execute("Select IDENT_CURRENT('HDComm')")
MsgBox(0, "Current", $current)

does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

I don't know a thing about SQL, so I have no idea if your coding is correct or not. But, have you considered that the return could be ASCII and needs to be converted? Just a thought.
