I'm working on getting Access to use my mySQL database and I've had a
lot of success. But now I'm stuck on something that I just can't
knock. In order for the myAccess add-in to work 100%, you have to have
a primary key defined. No problem, I had it working fine. Access could
enter data, no sweat.
After I got it working, I went and made some changes and basically
recreated the mySQL database I had going. Now it's time for the primary
key. I'm keying off of a char(50) field called simply Name. There are
no duplicate values in this. I combed the entire table several times
ensuring there were no dupes, plus had someone else comb through it as
well. There are 552 rows of data and I'm 110% certain that no two Name
fields contain the same data.
Now, when I go to create the primary key on the name field, I modify the
Name field appropriately, click the Alter Table button, and I get:
Executing "alter table ip add primary key (Name(30)) " -> * ERROR *
Can't write, duplicate key in table 'A-280'
(the reason it says (Name(30)) in this example is because I was trying a
smaller key to see if that helped)
I'm not sure quite what that error message means. I looked at row 280
to see if that contained a dupe and it didn't.
Can anyone help me out? Thanx!
