Reset Autonumber
I have a table with the key field of ClientID as an autonumber. The table has 800+ records, but somehow the autonumber field has been corrupted and is now counting from 130.

I remember reading of a method of changing the autonumber to whatever you wanted, I think by way of a query, but cannot find any details of the method now.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks

Roger

Technically you can't reset the orginal autonumber, but this will help you overcome that limitation
