One to Many OLE Objects

[JohnLute]

OLE Object fields can't be made primary keys.

I have a table that houses many OLE Objects for one record and I want to
make sure that one record can NOT be related to any particular OLE Object
multiple times.

Typically, I use the multiple key "trick" to resolve this BUT since I can't
make the OLE Object field part of a multiple key configuration I'm at a loss.

Is there a way I can manage a one to many OLE Object relationship that will
assure no OLE Object will be related to one record more than once?

Thanks for any help you might have!!!

OLEObjectTable
OLEObjectID (Autonumber)
OLEObject
...

"Main"Table
MainTableID (Autonumber)
OLEObjectID (foreign key, from OLEObjectTable)
...

Good luck!

Thanks, Jeff!

Not sure if I'm following.

In the "Main Table" do I need to create a new MainTableID (Autonumber)? My
"Main Table" has a primary key already of txtProfileID which is a text field.

I didn't know you already had a primary key. No need for another <g>.
