Thanks guys, I thought it would be much more complicated than that but will look into the alter table thing. Sorry forgot to mention in the first mail, I am using MySql as its the cheapest database to get from a hosting company,otherwise on my personal machine I use MySql and/or Oracle 7.3 (pirated version, I may not be rich but where theres a will theres a way :-) ) The reason I didnt alter it in the first place was that I was not sure if it would effect my current IDs, but since you guys say it wont.... i'll take your word for it.
