SYMPTOMS
You create a new table in Datasheet view in Microsoft Office Access 2007. Every time that you press ENTER to add a new field to the table, the ID field value is incremented by one.

 * Add a second row of data before you add a new field to the table.
 * Save the table before you add a new field to the table.
