That's what I DON'T want to happen. &nbsp;I have record 45678, 45679, and 456780, but the next increment is 87654. &nbsp;Every time I insert them, it increments in the 80k range. &nbsp;I'd like them to insert as their original key. &nbsp;For the record. &nbsp; The &quot;new&quot; database starts around 50k, so there wouldn't be a key overlap.<br />

The two tables are both called &quot;orders&quot;. I tried exporting the records, but don't know how it import and retain the original key. It just keeps appending it to the end. &nbsp;Is it possible that it's a constraint somewhere in the database design?

Did you import it with the key field?<br />
Did it ignore the key field and increment the Autonumber?<br />

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
