Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

  1. Create a table in the Pubs sample database of Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 by running the following script in the SQL Server Query Analyzer:

    Use Pubs
    
    CREATE TABLE Table1 
    (col1 uniqueidentifier DEFAULT NewID() 
    PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, 
    col2 int)
    
    go
                        
  2. Create a new Access database, and then add a link to the SQL Server table that you created in Step 1.
  3. Open the linked table in Datasheet view.
  4. Add a record, and then in col2, type 123.
  5. Add a second record, and then in col2, type the same value, 123.
  6. On the Records menu, click Save Record.

Note that Access displays #DELETED in both fields of the second record.
