Auto Number from a Make table query

Is there a way to assign an autonumber in a make table query? I have a main
table linked to a form and created subtables by customer from the main
table and would like to assign an autonumber to each customer subtable.
Thanks.

Using ADO, you can issue a command like:

CREATE TABLE table ( table_id AUTOINCREMENT (1000, 10), table_fld LONG)
