Good morning, Carole... I thought about your "employee number" situation and came up with a solution that may help. You can change the Employee Number (Employee ID) on an existing record, so I recommend that you change the Employee Number on the old record (or add an identifier to the Employee Number like a letter) and then use the same Employee Number in the new record. You have to go to "Maintain" and select "Employee/Sales Rep" and bring up the Employee Record you want to change and click on "Change ID" at the top of the record:
