Yes - I had DatEntry on Yes and re-set it (does not sound very
logical to me), and now it works well on my test table. I can do
updates and inserts.
But the "real prod-table" does not work with the same properties.
I did not delete the PK on my prod-table, I set it to inactive. Maybe
thats the problem and I have to delete it. But how can I get asked
from Access to build a new table with my key-constraints in Access?
It would be nice to keep the PK, because its not just a data-import
where I can drop the Key and rebuild it after the import.
Can you edit the linked table directly (without using your form)?
The "normal" process is that when you initially create the link to an ODBC table
Access will either detect a Primary Key or Unique Index on the server and
utilize it. If it does not it will prompt you to choose fields for building a
local index.
Were you so prompted when you created the link? If you were prompted and
selected a field or fields to use as a local index did you ever refresh the link
after that? This will cause the local index to be lost. To get it back you
would need to delete the link and then recreate it.
If you are not prompted to choose fields when creating the link then that should
mean that Access is already picking up an index from the server in which case
the link should be editable. Are you sure your permissions on the server allow
for editing?
