Duplicate Numbers in Autonumber Field

G

George

I have a database that is generating duplicate numbers in
an autonumber field as described in Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article 291162. Apparently a problem with the
Microsoft Jet 4.0 database engine causes this problem
when the "compact and repair database feature is used. I
downloaded the latest service pack as described in the
article and rebooted, but the problem still exists.

I would like suggestions as to the best approach to
repairing this problem. I have tried running "compact
and repair" and that didn't fix the problem.

Everytime I try adding a new record to the table it
sequences to the next number from the previous attempt,
and is now at "82" but the last entry in the table is
around "900."

Delete the current autonumber field, compact and repair and then add a
new one.
