Default auto number field in a table

I currently have a table that has data in it. I would
like to add an auto number field. Every time I add the
field, make the datatype auto number the numbering will
not start at 1. I have set the field properties New
Values to increment. Does anyone have any tips on how to
handle this problem.

Create a new empty table with all the fields in it plus the new autonumber
column. Append the old table into it.


Every time I add the
field, make the datatype auto number the numbering will
not start at 1.


"If you care what value an Autonumber has, then you probably should not be
using an Autonumber"
