Re: [MS_AccessPros] Primary Key Field to re-start numbering from 1

Hi John

No luck with Identify, returns. "Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement"

Hmmm. That used to work back in about 2003. Try Identity instead of Counter.

That's a query, not VBA code. You could do it like this:

CurrentDb.Execute "ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN ID Counter(1, 1);", dbFailOnError

Substitute your table name for "MyTable".

Run a query like this:

ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN ID Counter(1, 1);

Hi
I have a table that is deleted and appended from time to time. The primary key has the following properties:

Field Name = ID
Data Type = AutoNumber
Field Size = Long Integer
New Values = Increment
Indexed = Yes (No Duplicates)
Text Align = General

Is there a way to get the ID to start at 1 when the table is cleared (deleted) and appended every time?

Thanks
James
