Hi all,
I have found solution for previous Access versions (i.e. compacting
database) but it doesn't work with the 2003 version. Can someone
point me to a website or give me some hints. Thanks!!!!!!

Compacting should work if all data has been removed from the table.
If it doesn't you may need to update your JET 4: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114
You can reset the Seed of the AutoNumber programmaticall y: http://allenbrowne.com/func-ADOX.html#GetSeedADOX

1. Delete the autonumber column
2. Compact the database.
3. Create a new autonumber column.

That, unfortunately, works only if you are emptying the Table of Records, or
if you haven't used the autonumber column in relationships. At one time,
Compact and Repair, would reset the AutoNumber sequence to the next after
the highest-used number. Later versions would only reset to 0, if there
were no records in the Table.
But, if you eliminate the column, you "orphan" any Records in Related
Tables.

You're right.
I had assumed that if he had wanted to reset the autonumber column,
then the table
would not be related to other tables.

The AutoNumber sequence in my database is currently formatted as
'000000'. When a new record is created, the AutoNumber would go from
000001, 000002, 000003 and so on. I want to track via AutoNumber the
year each record was created.
Basically, if a record was entered in 2003, the AutoNumber would look
something like 03-000001 and then 03-000002, and so on.
When a record would be entered in 2004, the AutoNumber would look

I've just had to upgrade to Access 2003. Our company's main sales database
started in Access V1.0 and has progressed through V2.0 and 97 without
problems. I've converted it to 2003 format and have been going through a
process of testing it. To my horror I noticed that seemingly without
provocation, it has started re-using old Autonumber values. For example, I
have an archive routine which removes completed sales enquiry records out of

Hello
I currently have a Access 2003 database, I am able to add a record to it, and the CustomerID field (which is auto generated by the Database) is correctly filled in by the Database. I am now trying to figure out a way to retreive this number to use it in another Table of the Same Database. Anyone have any examples or resources that I can use to find the best way that I can accomplish this task? Any help/resources that you can provide...

A project I'm working on is going to use VB6 as a front end. The back
end is going to be pre-existing MS Access 2002 database tables which
already have records in them *but do not have any AutoNumber* fields
in them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming this means that I cannot now
alter these existing Access tables and change their primary key to an
"AutoNumber" type.
If I'm right about this, I need some suggestions as to the...

Hello,
I have a problem with a table in my MS Access 2003 table. The primary key of this table is an autonumber field set to a Long Integer, Yes - no duplicates. The autonumber made it to 10252. Now when I try to add a new record the autonumber started over at 1. Therefore I am getting an error message saying that it can't save this new record because it contains duplicate values.
My best guess is that I need to reset the autonumber...

To comp.databases.ms-access --
I just discovered, to my more than mild dismay, that some tables in my
Microsoft Access 2003 database have duplicate numbers in the
"AutoNumber" field. (Field Size is set to "Long Integer", and New
Values is set to "Increment".) I know that an old version of the Jet
database engine can cause this problem, but my version of msjet40.dll
is 4.0.8618.0, which is supposedly bug-free in this respect. I am...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
