Is this the right place to ask the following?

I have 2 tables in two different MS Access DB's. Access allows the ability of inserting data from DBA.table1 into DBB.table1, using the format [dba].[table1].[dbb].[table1]. Here's my problem.

Using a single SQL Statement I can't figure out the following. DBA.table1 has a record, with let's say ID 300. DBB.table1 has a 300 already, matter of fact the ID goes all the way to 550.

How do a write an insert statement that gets the full record from DBB.table1, but swaps puts in the 'next available' ID, which in the case, for DBB.table1, is 551?

Please give some data for an example.
Or you can read help about :
1. SET IDENTITY_INSERT for inserting ID to another table.
2. IDENT_CURRENT('table_name') to return last ID.
3. DBCC CHECKIDENT to return last ID and corrects the identity value

All of these examples are transact SQL. I need MS Access - does transact work there?

Sorry, I has no idea with MS Access.
