Access 2003- Need to create Unique ID to join two tables
I am trying to create a unique ID to join two tables for that will allow for cascading changes. The unique ID will take the FIN, Antibiotic, Frequency, Date Ordered, Time Ordered and put it into a string for an id. Or is there a better way to do this? TblPatientAdmissions can have a person (FIN) multiple times, because a person can have more than one anitibiotic order. The unique part would be putting together the FIN/Anitibotic/Frequency/D ateOrdered /TimeOrder ed (I orginally tried to make all of those fields primary since all the fields together would be unique but you could have a line with the sameFIN but different antibiotic. I hope this makes sense, because I need to link this unique field into the tblDose. I am not sure how to make that unique field autogenerate into the tblDose.
when database opens:
Main menu- click on Data entry
Search- use drop down on MRN field and choose the test > Click Find
View Patient Encounters- There is a button for new admission but no admission has been entered in so there will not be an option to double clik on doses.
This just gives you an idea of database, but it is the tables behind the scenes that I am trying to create the unique record.
The form that would create this is patient admission which in the database you can just go straight to the form or test it by clicking on the "new antibiotic" button.

In my database, I have a form called viewPatientHistory that shows the patient info, then it has a button to add new admissions and then there is a subform on that page that has a query of the admission info and you double click on the doses to add a dose.
