In addition to advice offered else-thread, please be aware that the number
in the bottom left (I believe this is what you mean by "record number") is
NOT a record number, it's merely a count of records. If you change the sort
order, you'll still have the same number of records, but what you THOUGHT
was #1 could be #19 or #99 or #12345.

Does this mean you are trying to do this directly in the table? If so, STOP
NOW! Table store data. Forms display data.

Good luck!

My first column is the key and ID number for each record. One of my users
(before I locked the table) voided several of the records, and now the
record
number and Id number no longer match. Is there a way to back fill the
key-id
number with dummy records so the rows line up.

Thanks..
