# 1178 Using RepairTable Method Keeps Resetting the Last AutoInc Value to a High Figure

---

After finding a datafile where the last few records had AutoInc values in the millions - there are only 83 records in the file. I corrected the records, then reset the AutoInc value from the Restructure menu.

However, if I perform a Validate on the table, it reports that the AutoInc value is invalid, and a repair of the same file results in resetting the AutoInc value back to the large number, even though the data records highest AutoInc number shows the corrected value (in this case 83).
