[AccessD] URGENT - Autonumber is Creating Duplicate Numbers

I'm using Access 2002 SP-2.  How do I find out what Jet service pack I'm using?
 
Also, I have A97 and, if you can believe it, Access2.0 installed on my computer in different directories.  My users are all on Access XP only.
 
To fix the problem in the short term, I copied all my data into a new table allowing the new table to autogenerate the Autonumber field.  That seems to have alleviated the problem and allowed the users to put in new records.  I just don't want this to happen again.

There was a bug in Access 2000 that did not correctly set the seed for
autonumbers when records were appended, including the autonumber value.
That was cured in SR-1.  I've heard of this same problem recently in
another forum but without details.  What version and service pack of
Access are you using and what Jet service pack do you have installed?

My Autonumber is creating duplicate number.  Of course, the records
aren't being saved as the Autonumber needs to be unique.  What should I
do and why is this happening?

Thanks for any help you can give.
