Start Slips with "50000"?

[Charles Kirby]

Hi folks... maybe someone can help with this one.

I want to start my Slip numbering with 50,000 instead of 1, and I thought
I was being smart by just doing UPDATE slips SET sid='50000' where
sid='1', but this doesn't work!  sid is INT(11); I tried sid='500' but
this was no good either (in either case, browsing gives "no tickets
defined."

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!
