Alright this is a tricky one so I hope I explain it correctly.

I am taking a legacy Flatfile DB and trying to save someone the time of them rekeying everything into their new SQL server. So my question is say hypothetically i have a table with the following data...

Say I have table INFO in SQL Server. In addition to the fields CustomerCode, PointlessInformation and MorePointlessInformation, it has a primary key, ID, which has an integer identifier which increments by 1. Alongside that I have an ADDRESS Table which has a Foreign Key relationship to the INFO Table and also has Address, CityStateZip fields.

Finally the question: Is there a way after I do the insert to find out the primary key ID that is automatically assigned to me so I can do the foreign key and other data insert into ADDRESS? If I can explain it better I would, sorry. If this is incredibly easy just shoot me now...
