How to restart counting from 1 after erasing table in MS Access?

Question

I have table in MS Access that has an AutoNumber type in field ID

After inserting some rows, the ID has become 200

Answer 1

I am going to Necro this topic.

Starting around ms-access-2016, you can execute Data Definition Queries (DDQ) through Macro's

Data Definition Query

---

ALTER TABLE  ALTER COLUMN  COUNTER(1,1);





Save the DDQ, with your values
Create a Macro with the appropriate logic either before this or after.
To execute this DDQ:


Add an Open Query action
Define the name of the DDQ in the Query Name field; View and Data Mode settings are not relevant and can leave the default values



WARNINGS!!!!


This will reset the AutoNumber Counter to 1
Any Referential Integrity will be summarily destroyed


Advice


Use this for Staging tables


these are tables that are never intended to persist the data they temporarily contain.
The data contained is only there until additional cleaning actions have been performed and stored in the appropriate table(s).
Once cleaning operations have been performed and the data is no longer needed, these tables are summarily purged of any data contained.

Import Tables


These are very similar to Staging Tables but tend to only have two columns: ID and RowValue
Since these are typically used to import RAW data from a general file format (TXT, RTF, CSV, XML, etc.), the data contained does not persist past the processing lifecycle
