Cannot add to or edit one table

My customer's computer guy is driving me potty ringing up with this problem.

The data in one sql server 7 service pack 1 (i think). They are using Access 97 logged to an nt server.

1) One table is acting as though is does not have a primary key. Access cannot add a record, or edit any records. The error message is to the effect that someone else is editing the record (which they aren't).

2) They are also having trouble logging in. The table was attached via a dsn with trusted connection set. When they start access, it asks for a login.

needless to say, this all works fine here. Any help appreciated.

Script follows:-

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[Order_Entry_Table] Script Date: 1/17/01 9:53:46 AM ******/
if exists (select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Order_Entry_Table]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Order_Entry_Table]
GO

Peter,

Where is the unique index or primary key? I don't see it in the 2nd create query.

OrderEntryId looks like a good candidate for a primary key or unique index.

You can unlink and then relink the table in the Access database. If Access doesn't find a unique key it will ask for one. You can designate OrderEntryID even if it has not been created as such on SQL Server. However, I recommend creating the unique index on SQL. Terry

apologies, i missed it out of my post

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Order_Entry_Table] WITH NOCHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT [aaaaaOrder_Entry_Table] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
[OrderEntryId]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

The customer is going berserk. I've just had the managing director and financial director on the phone.

yep,

I've been reading half the MS web site and have sent them other scripts to try. Apparently bit fields, float and datetime fields can cause a problem like this if you don't have a timestamp.

They haven't replied as yet. These were the references I found.

This particularly amusing


This is why the linked table manager pegs out with sql file dsn's. I just thought it was a bug, but no.

Yes, I've asked them to try this. No reply yet. Peter Meachem
