Yeah I Know it seems like a lot of hassle. But the only reason why I have to is because I have a program that I used to import new products, which allows me to upload hundreds at a time, and this program asks if I want to identify products by there ID, code or name? So I thought the handiest thing to match up would
be the Product ID. My supplier, who provides me with the list of products that I can import has their own unique Product ID for a product, so I have to make sure that I use his so in future when I go to up date stock, they'll match and the correct products will be updated.

Anyway I think i got around it, I created a product and from within the database set its ID to be 100000, now when I add a new product (manually) in the backend of the site its assigned 100001 to it as Product ID. Seeing as my suppliers inventory is only about 30,000 products I don't think we'll ever over lap with ID's.

Hopefully it works out.
