| records, however, the new account numbers started at 1, 2, 3, etc. This is
| causing management minor fits, as the new customers will have a lower
| account number than older customers. Is there any way to have Freeside start
| new customer numbers at a specific number, or to even to have it start
| numbering at the next available number after the maximum value of field?

  Adjust /usr/local/etc/freeside/counters.<datasrc>/cust_main.custnum to
meet your needs.
