Re: Multiple Primary Keys

You wouldn't believe how long I stared at this and not seen my mistake.
Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes. Of course it works now...

Many thanks :)

Here's the reason: Your table definition and your data do not match.
In your tabledef, docna has 4 characters and issuea has 20. However,
in your data, docna has 20 characters and issuea has 4. Fix this, and
you should be able to load your data.
