Ive run into an autonumber issue and I'm looking for some input as to if switching from increment to random may resolve the issue. I have an archiving process within my database that moves records out of my main table and with it goes the autonumber. When I try to import the next batch of records, they don't all come in and I think its because im generating a key violation on the ID number. I started down a path of retro fitting the database to eliminate the autonumber and it dawned on me that maybe a random autonumber would be a much quicker and easier fix. I don't care what the autonumber is, as long as each one is unique and the autonumber doesn't prevent new records from appending, due to key violations. Does it sound like a random autonumber would be a solution or do I need to proceed with the overhaul?
