>I have a large table. It is indexed with a primary key. The table holds the current location of an engineering drawing in the sign-off cycle. I have a form that points to this table and gives the user the location info. At some point in a given time period the drawing can be released and the next revision level can be issued. My problem comes in when I try to put a new record with a drawing number that already exists. I mark the old record for delete but a pack is not possible until all the users log off. Even though the old record is marked for delete I still get a violation error. Thanks.

By definition, primary keys are never reused. I recommend surrogate keys. There is a more complete discussion in the KB article on my web site.
