Auto Numbering Records
I have an Auto Numbering set up and used two of them in a test record. Is there anyway to reset to get those two numbers back? ------------------------------ Steve Venne -----------------------...

This was the recommendation ([Record ID#]+100) but I started at 1 but I can't seem to find the formula field for the auto numbering. This is what I have for formula fields in this table.

It is likely that when you look at the field list, this is field ID# 3. If so, that field is the [Record ID#]. That field is one of the 5 built in fields , and just counts up from 1 to basically infinity as records are added.
My suggestion is to just not adjust for the missing records which were deleted, as this will happen if records are deleted.
If for some reason you want to have an Auto numbering start at 1 and some records were deleted, then rename that field back to be called [Record ID#] and make a new field with the formula [Record ID#]-2
