My Product database went from 145 to 293. What happened? I don't know if there was data entered there or not. My staff think there was a glitch in Access. We went over the products but all seem to be in the database and nothing is missing. How can I bring back those numbers and or information lost? I did the steps in this lesson Video 6 Beg 4 but they did not work to bring back any numbers.What could the problem be?
Reply from Richard Rost:
Don't worry about them. You should never use Autonumbers for values where you CARE about what they say. Just move on. If you add a record and delete it (or even hit ESC while editing and don't save it) the Autonumber is gone. Ignore it. Move on.
