> UPDATE names SET name='Daniele' WHERE id=1;
> or, in the case it looks for contamporary changes:
> UPDATE names SET name='Daniele' WHERE id=1 AND name='Davide';

> Instead I see it uses:
> UPDATE names SET name='Daniele' WHERE id=1 AND name='Davide' AND
> surname='Romanini' AND address='My address';
>
> It wouldn't be a problem, but with some datatypes (dates, doubles for
> example) and sometimes with triggers that change data before updates,
> it has problems like the "Another user is changing the same data".

> I want to know if there's a way to force access (or odbc) to use only
> primary key fields in the WHERE clause for un UPDATE (there aren't
> reasons to use other fields).
