if you already have records 1- 100.... why would you want to re-insert record ID 1? if it's a new record, it should get 101... which it will automatically. Otherwise, shouldn't it be an update?

If your database isnt' the source of the IDs in the first place, then the field shouldn't be an auto increment, but should simply be a number, at which point, you can then isnert it w/o needing to alter the table.
