are different. Warrantees or support, if any, are tracked by serial number by the manufacturer.

Suppose, on return, your clients substituted a barely functioning tool of the same model for one they rented. How would you know?

Are we talking hammers here? :)

We are talking hammers, at my company. So "barely functioning" is no different than "functioning". Components of the toolkits (like hammers, shovels, etc.) get damaged and lost all the time, and that gets noticed and dealt with by humans at the time of restock. The cost of numbering would far exceed any benefit, since the toolkits often get moved from site to site "on the fly", without time to come back to base camp.

                 Try this: - (orion) - (2) - June 27, 2003, 01:51:48 PM EDT

                 The only primary key is on the master table - (boxley) - (2) - June 27, 2003, 07:20:48 PM EDT
                     Re: The only primary key is on the master table - (orion) - (1) - June 27, 2003, 08:22:20 PM EDT
                         the only link is the serial fields - (boxley) - June 27, 2003, 09:35:46 PM EDT
                 That is a major assumption on your part - (tseliot) - (15) - June 27, 2003, 09:35:31 PM EDT
                     Actually, for oce Norm is far more right than wrong; you... - (CRConrad) - (2) - June 28, 2003, 09:30:20 AM EDT
                         We're not disagreeing here. - (tseliot) - (1) - June 28, 2003, 01:13:30 PM EDT
                             Ah... *that* "assumption"! :-) - (CRConrad) - June 28, 2003, 02:58:36 PM EDT
                     ALL tables need PK's. - (mmoffitt) - (11) - June 30, 2003, 11:40:08 PM EDT
                         Sorry; What's an "sp"? - (tseliot) - (2) - July 1, 2003, 10:31:18 AM EDT
                             Probably 'Stored Procedures'.... - (ChrisR) - (1) - July 1, 2003, 10:36:51 AM EDT
                                 In Access they are "Queries" - (orion) - July 1, 2003, 12:32:23 PM EDT
                         Are you disagreeing with me? I can't tell. - (tseliot) - (7) - July 1, 2003, 04:18:35 PM EDT
                             Dunno if I disagree. - (mmoffitt) - (6) - July 3, 2003, 11:23:33 AM EDT
                                 Toy and scale are not the issues. - (tseliot) - (5) - July 3, 2003, 02:10:46 PM EDT
                                     Then you don't need a thirty-line table at all... - (CRConrad) - (2) - July 3, 2003, 03:51:15 PM EDT
                                         Thank you. -NT - (mmoffitt) - July 3, 2003, 10:56:12 PM EDT

             Started with no index on either field - (boxley) - (1) - June 27, 2003, 07:15:57 PM EDT
                 It's probably not a factor in your problem... - (tseliot) - June 27, 2003, 09:37:44 PM EDT
