additionally, find here an email received from actinic support regarding this issue, since they came up with the solution about the same time I did.
And here is the actual code. i'v tested it, ona broken database, and works as well as my exe does.
One of our developers have written a module. Please find the module attached To install and run the module ReSequenceChoices:-

o Double click ReSequenceChoices, the code will be displayed.
o From the menu bar select Run | Sub/UserForm
o The fix will display the message 'n choices have been resequenced when
it's finished

Set rsProdProp = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT nParentPropertyID, sStatus, nValue2 FROM ProductProperties WHERE nType = 7 ORDER BY nParentPropertyID, nValue2")
Dim nParentPropertyID As Integer
Dim nValue2New As Integer
Dim nValue2 As Integer
Dim nCount As Integer
While Not rsProdProp.EOF
If rsProdProp![sStatus] = "D" Then
nValue2New = 0
Else
If nParentPropertyID <> rsProdProp![nParentPropertyID] Then
nParentPropertyID = rsProdProp![nParentPropertyID]
nValue2 = 1
Else
nValue2 = nValue2 + 1
End If
nValue2New = nValue2
End If
If nValue2New <> rsProdProp![nValue2] Then
rsProdProp.Edit
rsProdProp![nValue2] = nValue2New
