I want to begin patient numbering at 17500 rather than at 1 so I can continue the sequence from my previous practice software. In which file do I edit. Thank you.

OpenEMR increments from the highest PID, so the only way to do what you want to do is make sure there is a patient record in the system that has a PID of 17499.  Which should be the case if you import patients from an existing system.  Otherwise you will need to manually add a record using phpmyadmin or other SQL process with that PID.
