query

So i need to figure out how i can get a record count value and use that count as a new value to insert into a table.

Ex: In My Stored Procedure

@Count int

What im looking for

@Count to equal "select top (1) _fieldName from _someTable order by _fieldName Desc"

Finally

insert into _newTable (_fieldName) values (@Count)

End

I dont have to use a variable, just trying to demonstrate what im really trying to do. My SQL knowledge is pretty limited so no laughing, or smirking! ;)
