Oh ! The headaches these things cause :-)

On a slightly oblique side-street: does anyone use MicroSoft Access
as a database?  The Category ID field which gets allocated
automatically by the programme has me totally baffled.  I *know* it's
just for the machine to find its way around and is _not_ a numbering
system, but is there any way to recapture lost numbers in the running
order?  I did a filter and took out a batch and later re-instated
them, blah blah - but now the Category ID jumps +- 95 numbers in the
sequence.
