RE: [INTERFACES] Access 2000 and ODBC

I haven't used Access with the ODBC driver (only Crystal Reports), but I
do remember this requirement.

I've worked just a bit with ODBC, but not with any of the front end
tools you are discussing. But I vaguely recall some discussion on the
list that some tool (Access?) required that there be a primary key
defined to allow a table to be considered writable.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? If not, sorry for the
misdirection...
