No. There is no way to know before the statement is finished which individual records have been inserted to that point. If you provide the trigger and inserting code, along with your goal, alternative solutions may be doable. Prior statements should have all their inserted records visible so it may be the specific methodology you are using that is causing the problem. Using an after statement trigger will let you see all of them though there isn't any direct way to know exactly which records were inserted. David J.
