I have created a table that uses a autonumber as the primary key which is linked to other tables. I have removed all links, deleted all test information from the tables and relinked the tables. Now I want to start using the tables for "real" information, but the autonumber starts from where I left off with the sample data I had deleted. How can I start the autonumber over to "1"?

I must be having a brain malfunction today. What do you mean or how to do it?
