I have and use Red Gate software for comparison.  However; I'm at a loss on
this data compare scenario:

I have two tables I want to compare, but the PK-ID field is seeded
differenly between the 2 tables.  So when I do a comparison - every row is
considered different.  I looked at a couple other tools to see if I could
compare and exclude columns - but havent' found any.  I remember once seeing
a T-SQL solution - but I cannot find that either.

One thought I had was that this particular table, the PK-ID field is not
used anywhere else - so maybe I could just reseed the one table to match the
other.

Can anyone offer some suggestions?

It is hard to understand your narrative without an example. Can you post
your table structures, sample data & expected results? For details refer to:

I found the perfect solution just now a SP called sp_compare:
