Hello Jeffrey

I have just done the following and it seems ok.

1. Start off by adding normal integer field instead of an autoincrementing one.
2. Use replace to populate the field with numbers as required. I used the record number to get me started.
3. Take note of the highest number. (use a select max maybe )
4. Now modify the table structure again.
5. Alter the Autoincrement value to the value you noted earlier + 1
