Append records into access table between existing records,
I have an existing access table and I want to write an append query but i want to add these records between other records. I have them with record IDs so lets say i have records 1 -250 and I want to insert records at 25 how would i do that?
If your database is written properly then you shouldn't have to - can you give a little more detail

ok I have a table that has a fields called ID and I have it set to auto number so everytime a record is entered it increases by 1. I just found several records that were misplaced and i would like to get them in the database table in the proper order and to do that just an append will not work. I want to append them to a specific row. for instand I want in insert a record at 25 and thus making the current record 25 record 26 and the new roecord I am appending 25.
jlcannon,
Out of curiosity, why does it matter? An autonumber has no significance beyond providing a guaranteed-to-be-unique value.
