   Thinking about this further, it occurs to me that if the driver
routines for SQLSpecialColumns returned the actual Primary Key for a table
(if it existed) rather than OID then Access may have the required hint?

   The sort of scheme I had in mind goes something like this:

   if (view)
       return SQL_NO_DATA

   else if (table)  {
      if (primary key esists)
          return all elements of PK.
      else if (oid exists)
          return oid
      else
          return SQL_NO_DATA
   }

   Or am I way off-beam with this idea?

   Regards,
       Harry.
