Import database with IDs
I am trying to import a set of 223 records to jump-start a new dbman install. I've got a field named "Record" which contains a sequential record number. I want dbman to start incrementing newly added records (added through the web, not an import) with the next sequential number. Any ideas how I can do this?

Failing that, I'll remove the numbers and let dbman number them, if there is a way to do that with an imported database.

Everything's working except that. When I try to add a record, dbman is picking up at record #71, which is a duplicate.

Any ideas? Thanks!

You should be able to just open up your default.count file and change the number to the last ID in your database.

So if your last record has an ID of say 200, change the number in default.count to 200 also.
