duplicate entries

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but how do I set a column on a table so that the user cannot enter in duplicate entries?

The simple way is to go into table Design View , select the field, go to its Indexed box and select Yes (No duplicates)

If the user tries to enter a duplicate value, Access will pop up a message saying this is a nono!
