Reset Database By Richard Rost ![]() ![]() Delete Data & Reset AutoNumbers for Blank Database In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to reset your database by deleting existing data and resetting auto number fields to start from one. This is especially useful if you need to create a blank copy of your database for distribution or demonstration purposes. We'll begin with a manual method suitable for beginners, then explore a more advanced technique using VBA to automate the process. You'll learn how to ensure your data is backed up, delete records from tables, and use Access's compact and repair feature to reset auto numbers, providing a fresh database experience for new users. Richard from Concord, North Carolina (a Silver Member) asks: I made this database for personal use, but now others want to use it too. How can I delete all the records to make the tables fresh again and reset the AutoNumber fields to start over from 1?
