Hi jferry.

Thanks for posting!

If you are using flat files for data storage, it's actually quite easy. Just open up /data/db_article.dat.cgi and change the number you see next to: #SEQUENCE:

Now, if you were using MySQL for the data storage, I am not actually sure Smile. I imagine it would involve connecting to your database using something like PhpMyAdmin and then changing a field. I am just not sure which one so I'll need to ask Dave or Theo tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you are using flat file should be good to go. Let me know what you think Smile.
