    Autonumber reset + Access 2010

    I have a user who had deleted some records from a database today using Access 2010. They have an ID field that's autonumbered. They have No Duplicates allowed. When they created a new record today, it was recreating numbers that had already been assigned but deleted. I've read a couple of articles about resetting the autonumber in Access, but I'm wondering if this is the only way to really fix this issue? Has anyone else came up with a work around for this? I've seen some people using a script to work around it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Doug

    What exactly are you looking for, Doug? Do you wish to wish to start the numbering all over again, making the IDs Unique and Sequential as in: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,...NNNNN?

      I think what this was, was a problem with Access 2010. The user copied the file from a server to their laptop and replaced the file in question back on the server and autonumbering started working again. I guess this is the same as resetting Autonumbering.
