Hello All,

I am new to Access, and I am starting to figure things out, working up to designing a database for my company.

I am wondering if I am going in the right direction, or if it is plainly obvious to someone more experienced, that I will have problems down the road.

Here is a screenshot of my Relationships View: Pasteboard — Uploaded Image

Let me know if I need to explain anything to help you understand what I am going for.

Thanks,
Bacon
 
I didn't say you couldn't use a separate field as a primary key, but what's the point? A composite does the job more succinctly

As to the guid, they're useful when you have to merge databases - you can't import autonumbers into existing tables as you get conflicts. This is a pretty rare scenario, but it does happen so if there's a chance of it occurring it's best to think of these things in advance.
