MS Access auto-numbers each record and by default uses the record number as the primary key.<br />
<br />
If a record is deleted does (a) the auto-numbering take over to fill in the gap in the numbering or (b) does it leave the gap unfilled?<br />

I need a primary key system that supports option (b).<br />
