Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

[HELP] MSAccess picks wrong keys: msg#00085

db.postgresql.odbc

Subject: [HELP] MSAccess picks wrong keys

Using MS Access 2003 and pgsql-odbc 7.03.02.00.

Today I added a column (Course_LongName) to a table (Courses), when I
relinked the table in Access decided that that column should be part
of
the composite primary key. The Correct Key is "Course_Number",
"SchoolYear", "SchoolYearSemester". Access Chooses "Course_Number",
"SchoolYearSemester", "Course_LongName" every time. I can't get it to
let
go!

I've deleted the link and relinked/refreshed. I've checked and
unchecked "Recognise unique indexes" to no avail. Is there any way I
can
make this go right?

How does Access choose keys? Can I trick it?

Is there a way to force Access to display the key choosing interface
when
linking tables from postgresql?
