Change of address

Change the starting value of an AutoNumber field
Hello when I appended some data into my main table, the autonumber jumped from around 544 to 26300. There are only 276 rows in the table. The most rows I've deleted from the table would be maybe 200, when I was designing and testing the table, certainly not 25000. All I could find in Help was "Change the starting value of an AutoNumber field". I followed the instructions but that didn...
