Reset The Auto Generated Numbers

How can I reset an auto generated number back to start from 1 again.
I made a test table, now to implement the table I need to start the counter back from 1.

The field that I am trying to reset is CustID
It is a primary key for a table and it is set as an Indentity with Increment 1.

Thanks
Taimur"Truncate table" will reset the identity counter to the original seed value.|||or you could use the following (where TestTable is the name of the table):

DBCC CHECKIDENT (jobs, TestTable, 1)|||Sorry... just to correct the previous posting:

DBCC CHECKIDENT (TestTable, RESEED, 1)|||Thanks Iwaker. This worked perfect. :)

Re-set identity field

Hi:

I created a small SQL Express database/ASP.net/C# application and in the learning process. Before I implement it I would like to re-set autonumber / identity field back to 1. Also, I need to start with the blank database. I am not sure how to approach that?

Can you assist?

Thanks
