They are issued to analysts and everything is completed. Continuing on I create another 20 jobs that JTX numbers 21-40. Now say I made a mistake in the JOB TYPE in which jobs 21-40 were created from. I decide to delete jobs 21-40, fix the issues with the JOB TYPE, and then create another 20 jobs from the recently corrected JOB TYPE. Now when I create the 20 jobs, JTX numbers them 41-60, skipping the numbers 21-40 which were created and then deleted. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would like to be able to sequentially continue from the last successful batch of jobs. In the situation, I would like to have the jobs that WERE given numbers 41-60 actually be labeled 21-40. Is this possible?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am assuming that this would involve going into one of JTX's tables in the actual database and manually deleting the records.
