The ID field is increment by one every time that you add a field to a new table in Datasheet view in Access 2007 or in Access 2010
You create a new table in Datasheet view in Microsoft Office Access 2007 or in Microsoft Access 2007. Every time that you press ENTER to add a new field to the table, the ID field value is incremented by one. For example, if you add five fields to the first row of data before you save the table, the ID field value is incremented to 5.
To work around this problem, perform one of the following actions:
- Add a second row of data before you add a new field to the table.
- Save the table before you add a new field to the table.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- On the Create tab, click Table.
- In Datasheet view, type SampleData in the Add New Field box, and then press ENTER.
- Type SampleData2 in the Add New Field text box, and then press ENTER.
The ID value is incremented to 2.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office Access 2007
- Microsoft Access 2010

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
