Thanks for taking the time to reply, David.



I got into the habit of creating an ID field for every table which is
auto-incremented (generator in interbase). Is this a bad thing in this
case? I can see that the ID field is redundant because the other two
fields create a unique primary key by themselves. What are the
downsides of having the extra field?



Regards,



DB
