You can't.
All you can do is concatenate the AutoNumber field (on a form or
report, or query, but not in the table) with the date year:
=Format(ADateField],"yyyy") & [YourAutoNumField]

If you need to have the value return to 1 for each new year, then you
can not use autonumber.... You'll need to create your own counter.
