Default AutoNumber

Hi,



I'm designing a new table to replace an existing table that is populated
with data for the current application. The old table uses an AutoNumber for
its primary key. I would like the new table to also use an AutoNumber for
this key. How can it preserve the existing data in the key field and get
the AutoNumber in the new table to continue incrementing after the last
number imported from the old table. AutoNumber does not seem to like having
any existing numbers. Is there some technique for preserving the existing
sequence of numbers and still use AutoNumber in the new table?



Thanks, Cindy H.
