otuatail Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 If you are resetting back to 1 then you pribably need an empty table. There would be a problem if the database tried to duplicate an ID. Easyest way for me is to go to phpMyAdmin and when the table is empty go to Operations on the top. You can set the value of one there. Desmond.

nadeemshafi9 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i found that emptying the table resets it, or you can take ioff teh auto inc and then re number each one and then turn it back on, but you have to empty it, i do rember seeing a button at some point saying reset on the auto inc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
