[AccessD] autonumber

FYI, this doesn't work in A2k or AXP with Jet 4 SP 4 or above.  The
counter does not get reset to the next highest number when you compact.
They fixed it in O2k SR-1 and broke it again in the Jet service packs.

A make table query should already 'reset' the AutoNumber, since it is
going to make a new table. An append query can be used to 'set' numbers
within an AutoNumber field, however, it doesn't reset the counter, it
can just 'ignore' it.  If you delete the data in a table, to resent the
AutoNumber counter, compact the database.  It will reset the counter (on
an incremental
AN) to the highest number plus 1 (or 1, if there are no records
remaining).

Is there a way to reset the autonumber to 1 of a make table query or an
append or a table I just finished deleting the information from? John
