Table with IDCustomer and different primary key

[raphael99]

Hi, I'm novice and trying to undeerstand.
I got a product table that I want to link with Customer Table.
To relate one to many I have a IDCustomer on my product table that is about 1000 rows.
I can link and all is working.
But in the product table I need a Primary Key that is shorteer in rows (only 15 rows) and access won't let me create such a primary key because it contains null value.
How to solve this problem.


I Need Product ID (as primary key) to relate to another table which I will name Product details.

You can't have a null product. You can't sell nothing. Delete the nulls then key the product field.
#Rows are irrelevant.

If I try to have as a Primary key the shorter column (15 rows) than the IDCustomers (1000 rows) access won't permit me because it contains null value.
I have set numeric and it is numbered from 1 to 15. After that 15 there is nothing (is that null value?)
Access does not permit me to have it a PK
Please be more clear

Please step back and tell us about the process(es) involved. You mention Customer and Product. However, in a typical business situation you have:
Customers who make 1 or more Orders
An Order that may have 1 or many Detail lines (purchases)
Each detail line represents a Product, Quantity and a SellingPrice.

In some businesses a Product may be a single "thing", or it could be a "composite thing" made up of many assemblies/sub products.

Please give us the business description so readers understand WHAT you are dealing with. Don't assume we know you business details.

Ok.
I have a table Patient with idAnagrafica as primary key. (100 patients numbered fromn1 to 1000)
I have a table Performance . This one is relate to IDAnagrafica (ihave made a copy and paste of IdAnagrafica from table Patient. The relation is one to many.

In table performace I want to have an IDPerformance. Performance must be numbered from 1 to 15. IDPerformance must have Primary key.
When I try to Made this one IDPerformance primary key access won't let me do. Because it does not contains a null value.
It not contains null value in fact it is numbered from 1 to 15.
How can I proceed?

I think you are telling us HOW. What would you tell someone you met in a McDonald's line who you did not know; who did not know you nor database; and asked you what are you trying to do? Simple terms- plain English.
Here is a link to some business facts re Inventory that may give you an idea of the type of info I'm requesting.

@Orange.
Sorry for bother. I'm newbie and also not english mother tongue.

It is not a bother -- just trying to understand the issue before offering any suggestion/advice.

As I have mentioned to others whose mother tongue is not English:
Compose your message in your mother tongue, then go to google translate to get an English version. It may not be perfect, but it can be a great starting point.

Glad you have found a solution.
