Auto number field
Hi All, I would like to know if it is possible to renumber an auto number
field, I know this is scoffed upon and goes against the principals of database management, but i would really like to know if it can be done. I am currently using data imported from an excel sheet which my company uses for a tracking system, I intend to start a fresh table when I have finished writing and testing the database so would like this new table to start at a number beyond the current excel sheet. What is the easiest way to start the new table at 20000 Thanks |

If you'll describe the business need you are trying to solve, folks here may be able to offer appropriate suggestions. .... or maybe you've already decided which approach you are going to use, and just want someone to tell you which button to push...
