Alan,

  This worked like a charm.

Many thanks for the lesson,

Rich


if your original table has Primary Key of (sta_type, secondary_type) I would not expect EITHER of those fields to be unique by themselves.... Surely there can be more than one of the same sta_type with different secondary_type's, just as there could be more than one secondary_type with different sta_types.... if either of these fields is unique of and by itself, it doesn't make sense to use the combined primary key.
