When you import records into a table that has fields with auto-enter data, you will see the Import Options dialog box asking whether to "Perform auto-enter options while importing". Deselect this to keep the imported data.

Note that if you have a serial number field, you will need to set the next serial value to prevent duplicates being created after the import. And, of course, this is assuming the import itself does not create duplicate numbers.
