Problems with several statements in one servlet

Question

Hi!
I use the jdbc:odbc bridge driver, and an Access database. I'm making a webshop, and everything is working except for one thing: I can't insert several OrderItems at the same time.
I have a basket structure, where I have several OrderItem objects. In these objects, I have product_id, price, quantity etc in each object.
My database have to related tables, Order and OrderItem. I first insert a new order into the Order table. That works. Then I try to read the Order table to find the highest Order ID, which will then be used when I insert data into the OrderItem table.
The problem is that if I add any more statements to the same servlet, I get a Invalid Cursor type error.
This is the code that works:
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Network");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
String strDate =String.valueOf(sqlDate);
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO Order2(CustID, Ordertime) VALUES("+id+", '"+strDate+"');");
stmt.close();
conn.close();
}catch (Exception e){
     out.println("Error: " + e);
This is the code that doesn't work:
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Network");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(date.getTime());
String strDate =String.valueOf(sqlDate);
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO Order2(CustID, Ordertime) VALUES("+id+", '"+strDate+"');");
Statement stmt2 = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt2.executeQuery("SELECT Max(OrdID) as max FROM Order2");
//this will be used to insert the OrderItems
int MaxOrderID = rs.getInt("max");
rs.close();
stmt2.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
}catch (Exception e){
out.println("Error: " + e);
This is the error I get:
Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid cursor state
I've tried using the same statement, using another connection, closing the first statement before I create a new one etc. But nothing works.
Any suggestions?
Any help appreciated!

Manager] Invalid cursor state
I've tried using the same statement, using another
connection, closing the first statement before I
create a new one etc. But nothing works.I could imagine that this is the same again like here:

Simply try after your INSERT a dummy query like
"SELECT 1 FROM <yourtable>"
I'd be interested if it helps.
