A 'feature' of MS-Access requires the table to have a unique key defined in it. While this works fine for masters sets (you do have to fool MS-Access with one command), it is not possible for detail datasets. Up to now. . . Maybe. . . At IPROF, I presented a possible solution to the IMAGE labs, but I have not heard if they where going to implement it. I have received a number of calls and e-mail from people wishing to update detail datasets with Access and I tell them to contact HP and request it. I am just a single, inconsequential voice lost in the greater babble. On another subject, yesterday a client contacted me and asked how to implement null items in IMAGE. This is required by their environment which is attached to other RDBMS's. I told them that I had brought this issue to the forefront in a SIGIMAGE newsletter almost 2 years ago, but that no one listened then. I did tell him that he could find solace in that it was now on the list of enhancements. Unfortunately, it is not in the top ten. I suggest that if people are serious about MS-Access update to IMAGE details and or null items for IMAGE, they should chime in now. Kind regards, Denys. . .
