mySQL auto_increment problem after field type change

Hi,

Because my database has grown larger than I had originally expected, I needed to change the field type for sid (sid bigint(20)) to bigint from smallint. This field is also auto_increment. When I try to add another record however, it tries to start from 0 again, and of course gives an error of duplicate entry. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Richard

From the manual (ALTER TABLE):

For MyISAM tables, you can set the first sequence number by executing SET INSERT_ID=value before ALTER TABLE or by using the AUTO_INCREMENT=value table option
