Default Change the starting value of an AutoNumber field

Hello
when I appended some data into my main table, the autonumber jumped from
around 544 to 26300.
There are only 276 rows in the table.
The most rows I've deleted from the table would be maybe 200, when I was
designing and testing the table, certainly not 25000.

All I could find in Help was "Change the starting value of an AutoNumber
field". I followed the instructions but that didn't work.

Any suggestions on what I can do to lower the Autonumber?
The table is related to 2 other tables.

Thank you
Jen
