I'd check your code - all of it that does INSERT or UPDATE operations, and that includes SP's as well as "external" software. It is possible to change the "current index" for IDENTITY values, and it's most likely that it's a fault in external software rather than SQL itself.

But even if it does "jump" - which I've never seen with "well-behaved" apps - what does it matter? It's not supposed to be used as if it was sequential anyway! :laugh:
