Order number - change start point

[pb4]

Hi,

I want to change the starting order number to something bigger.

I understand that I go to admin, store manager but where do I add the new number. I placed a bigger number into Older order ID and nothing happend when I placed a fake order and I added a number to the New order ID but again nothing. WHat am I doing wrong? Do I need to add two numbers

Reset Current Order ID

Old Order ID
New Order ID

Hi there
You need to enter both numbers Old ID (being the last order number) and New Id being the new start number which needs to be bigger the the Old ID

Ok. I'm reviving this post, because I don't understand how to do this. Where exactly in the admin do I change the order number permanently to a higher number and it goes incrementally forward from there? I can't imagine anyone wanting to reorder from someone who's order number is in single, double or triple digits (1,10 or 100). I'd like to change it to start at about 1000 or more.

I've done some test orders, but still only in the single digit order numbers here.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

What was the secret to your success?

The secret, was that I went back and "RE-read" the info, logged into my admin>store manager followed the destructions...er I mean the instructions. ;-) Worked perfectly. I'm better at the destruction than the instruction. LOL

Every now and then ... I have to read the instructions too, or I end in disaster myself ...

Can somebody help? Where are the original instructions on where to edit the starting order number? I don't see any option to edit anything on the order info page. Thanks.
