How to reset record ID number to zero ?
Is there a way to get MS Access to reset the record ID number to zero?
I've been testing a data base and want to reset the order id number to zero. The products and other data are already in the data base in other tables, so it is too late to have kept a copy with all rec id nums set to zero. thanks for any help. |

Compact the database.
Of course, it shouldn't really matter whether the numbers start at 0. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) "tmb" wrote in message om...

I assume you mean an autonumber field. I suggest you may not want to use Autonumber for that use. Autonumbers are designed to provide unique numbers. It in not designed to provide numbers in order and for a number of reasons may not do so. As a result using them in any application where the user sees the numbers is likely to end up with confusion. There are other ways of providing the numbers you want depending on the particual application. -- Joseph Meehan 26 + 6 = 1 It's Irish Math |
