compound index
While in table design view, hold down the CTRL key and click the fields.
Then click the "key" icon in your menu bar. You can use the view menu to view "indexes" if you wish to see the compound key and change any of the properties. Rick B "taccea" wrote in message ...

compound index
If you want to make a compound Primary Key (and I suspect that IS what you
were asking), the way Rick described is what you need to do. However, if you already have a PK and you want a *separate* compound index, you have to do something different. Open the table in Design View. Click the Indexes button (it has a lightning bolt on it). Go to the bottom of the list to a blank line and type a name in the IndexName column. Then select a field to index. Now, on the next line, choose another field WITHOUT giving it an index name. Do the same for the last field. This will create a compound index. If you select the first line in the index, you can set properties for the index like: Unique or Ignore Nulls. If you click any other line in the index, these options won't be available. -- --Roger Carlson www.rogersaccesslibrary.com Reply to: Roger dot Carlson at Spectrum-Health dot Org "taccea" wrote in message ...
