it is returning with the below error, there isnt even such thing as dbo.products! from initial searches it refers to a padding issue? can anyone advise?

The statement has been terminated.

If yes
Set to allow Null for tht field.
If so this will cause this error, as its Unique you can only have one record where this field is set to Null.
