Rails - May 2006 - retrieve previous id

Hi,

I have this piece of code,

if @quote.save
      flash[:notice] = ''Quote was successfully created.''

      #return id of preiously inserted quote

      #enter this id in the correct related project field

      redirect_to :action => ''list''

end

How can I return the id of the saved data?

@quote.id, or just @quote, should return a value once the record''s been
saved.

yes, you can use @quote.id after being saved, before being saved you can 
not use @quote.id
