Hello All,
The database I designed for a client has encountered a problem. The employee
charged with 'maintaining' the database decides to make the database into a
briefcase file (replica) so he could take a version home. Only problem is all
of the autonumber fields which workers use to refer to everything from
projects to invoices are now set to random. The numbers are used in manual
records and tracking as well. They went from a 4 digit number to a 10 digit
random number. Very annoying.
THE OBJECTIVE: I have used every arrow in my quiver. Is there ANY way to
change an autonumber field to incremental after it is changed to random. I
need to maintain the existing numbers as well. That rules out copying from
what I have seen.
Please help. I will be greatly appreciative.
