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

James-

Also found this comment online about using Counter:

You may also need to make sure that your database is set up to use ANSI 92 so that COUNTER is recognized as a legitimate data type.

In Access 2007 go to Access Options, Object Designers, SQL Server compatability syntax (ANSI 92) to set this.

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
