A record of a table with an autonumber field was accidentally deleted. From
the backup table I made a new table with only the deleted record. Then with
an add query I added that record to the original table. After that, when
adding a new record, the autonumber continued with the last ID value (from
the add query) + 1 there by overriding already existing records.
Is this WAD?
What should be best to do in such a situation?
Thanks,

Don't include the autonumber field in the append query. That way Access will
assign new autonumbers to all incoming records.
Thanks.

Don't include the autonumber field in the append query. That way Access
will assign new autonumbers to all incoming records.
Since the number of this deleted record was already 'given out' to third
parties as well I wanted it to be added with the original number.

Hi:
I know this is a strange question, but I have inherited a system where files are copied
and records re auto numbered (as an index field) )frequently, and I am wondering how high
the number can go without the system crashing.
An ancillary question is how one resets an auto number so that the sequence starts again
at 1.
In the case of this file, the auto number field serves no useful purpose except as an

My customers have reported strange behaviour of the locally used modules
for running the register on stroke patients, specifically, adding new
patient to the register. When analising a sample, I have found that an
autonumber variable (id) doesn't behave as expected. At some instant
after the record with id=180, the next record is coming with id=158.
I can't find any reasonable explanation. Could anybody?

I have an A97 database table (tblCorrespondence] in a database
installed at 2 sites. The table's key field is not a
natural key - its an autonumber field. Here are the values at the
2 sites. First, site #1. Then, site #2. If you plot them, you'll see
why I'm worried - I'm afraid I'll be running out-a-numbers soon.
For the life of me, I have no clue why they're not incrementing
by 1. Hope someone can help.

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,...
