Is there a way to reset the autonumber to Zero? I have a test database that is up to 30 or 40, and I want to reset the count to Zero to roll it out. Thanks.

You can delete all the data from the tables (where you want it reset to 0 - first record would become 1) and then compact your database. This will reset the autonumbers to the lowest number available...if empty, this is 0.
