M mike Aug 11, 2003 #1 is it possible to reset the starting value of an auto- number field? if so, how? thanks
F Fredg Aug 11, 2003 #2 Mike, The actual number should be irrelevant. The only important thing about an Autonumber field is that each record have a different unique number. To reset the AutoNumber field to 1, delete all the records in the table (not the table itself). Then compact the database.
