AutoNumber Question

My question has 2 parts. Is there a way to start an AutoNumber at a certain number, or does it have to start at 1. My other question is, is there a way to restart an Autonumber field after a certain amount of time has elapsed??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

There is no such thing as a AutoNumber in MySQL.
Are you sure you didn't mean to post this in the Access forum?

MySQL does have a thing called Auto_Increment, but resetting that after some time wouldn't make much sense.
