It's not good database design to have hidden data in a column e.g. the year
'hidden' in a primary key. Stick with the autonumber primary key and put the
year into another column.
Does the sequence number really have to restart at 1 for each new year?
No, you cannot do what you want in table design, you would have to create
the key manually yourself.
