Final answer:

The AutoNumber data type can still work as intended even if a number has already been incremented beyond 1 for the first record in a field.

Step-by-step explanation:

The AutoNumber data type in a database field is designed to generate a unique sequential number for each record that is added. It starts from 1 and increments by 1 for each new record. If a number has already been incremented beyond 1 for the first record, the AutoNumber data type will still work as intended. It will continue generating unique numbers for subsequent records based on the highest number already used.
