[AccessD] OT: Primary Key Violation

Gina,

There is no such thing as a one-time use application, trust me.  If it
works, they'll want to keep using it.  Do yourself a favor and use an
artificial key rather than the staff names.  You can still create a
unique key with the name and something like their work phone number,
which you should surely be able to collect.

No offense taken, Martin, I've seen the carnage.  Fortunately this is a 
one-time use db that I have to put together quickly and we don't have
any 
staff members with the same name.  This time ...

But out of interest we have three Martin Reids in work. How would you
create the PK then?
