My primary key selection is solid and duplicates will never occur. I played with this for awhile and used a table data macro with the Before Change event to make this work the way I need it to. Thanks!

Yes, the concatenated string becomes the primary key for the table.

I should have told you that I have the code to do this in a query already and I'm looking for a way to have this automated and thought a table event after insert might be the way to go.

What will run the query?

I see that Access 2010 does support table events. I would like to use the After Insert event to concatenate the data in two columns and place the resultant in a third column. Can someone tell me where I can find a good reading resource to develop this logic.

I do respect your commentary and in my previous post I mentioned that I was able to recognize the duplication and I have reduced this to four tables, which include the following: tbl_instrument_list tbl_datasheets tbl_junction_notes tbl_notes I now see the error in my ways and I thank for...

Forget the previous comment. That whole mess is now down to four tables and I can already appreciate the ease of building my sql queries. I use Sybase Powerbuilder on the front end. Thanks again!

I understand your comments. Datasheets do have unique columns based on the datasheet type and so if I combine them into one table, then it would seem that I would violate 2nd normal form since all columns are not related to the primary key. However, I could reduce the number of datasheet...

Perhaps I can share it this way. The 1:1 relationship is the problem area.http://www.mediafire.com/file/firx1es7xyo9n1t/Framingham%20Database.mdb

I would be happy to share the structure with you. What's the best way to get the file to you?

I know that Access has a table limit of 32 indexes. I have a table with one primary key and that primary key column is indexed with no duplicates allowed. I have 36 other tables that would like to have a foreign key relationship to this table's primary key. Only 32 are accepted due to the...
