Access 2000 - add Primary key
Posted on 2011-03-02
Dear Experts,
Could you please advise if there is a table in Access with a lot of columns but without primary key, is there possibility to add? If yes then through which menus?
My target would be to add a kind of autonumber, so the first record should have key 1, the 1000th record should have 1000.
thanks,

Open the table in design mode, simply add a field and call it ID, set the type to Auto number.
It will automatically start at 1
You can set the primary key status using the "Key" toolbar at the top on your menu's

Runrigger can I ask a short yet?
For my live table which have more than 500000 records, I got error message
"File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry."
Do you have idea what is it?
thanks,

I haven't seen that before no, it's a registry setting.
Do you know how to open the registry? (Start-Run-regedit), do a search for MaxLocksPerFile
If not, can you ask another question to the experts.
