(apologies for previous incomplete message - pressed Ctrl+Enter by mistake :-) If these are the primary keys in your database, you can reset the auto_increment with this query: ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 1; Or set it to whatever you like: ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 23; Cheers Jon
