Hi
First, auto increment is a column type. You set the column to add one
to the highest value in that column. If you would like the records to start
at 10, either enter you "first" record with the Client_ID value explicitly
set at 10 or enter a dummy MySQL statement like "INSERT INTO Clients
Client_ID VALUES (9)" then the next Full_Name you enter, the Client_ID will
be automatically set at 10, then next 11 and so on.
