Duplicating Forms/Tables

I have a form and corresponding table that I want to duplicate to keep
records separated for each fiscal year. In the past I have done this by
exporting the table (structure only) and then creating the form from scratch,
painstakingly duplicating the formatting from last year's version because I
want them to match visually. Shouldn't there be an easier way to do this?

Also, is there any way to edit system id numbers? I like to keep my record
numbers matching my system id numbers, but if I delete a record anytime
during the year the system won't reuse that number. Thus my record counter no
longer matches my system id.

Any help with these is appreciated.
