Why does Microsoft access auto number keep resetting by itself?
When you use the compact and repair tool, the Auto Number in a table will be reset to one greater than the largest existing AutoNumber value. For example, consider a table with an AutoNumber field that has 10 rows with autonumbered values from 1 to 10. If you delete rows 6, 9, and 10, and then compact and repair the database, the AutoNumber seed will be reset to 9 (1 greater than the maximum AutoNumber value in the table, which in this example is 8). If the table has no data in it, the AutoNumber will be reset to 1.
