The Question is ...Is there a way or work around to inserting a blank values into a primary field PLZ HELP.A blank is ok but null is NOT allowed. See BOL under the subject of 'Creating and Modifying PRIMARY KEY Constraints'|||One would think not. Primary keys are unique by definition. If you need to be inserting blank values into a primary key that field/column probably isn't your primary key.|||thank ..but could you show me in code how to do this.|||Hey, but he would only be able to put in one...

Can you post the DDL of your table?
And you can insert a blank in to a pk...but only once
If it's a composite (col, col2) Then only once for the unique occurance of col1, and so on...
Maybe if you explain why you need to do this...|||Primary keys aren't even ALLOWED to accept nulls. The closest you could come would be using a zero-lengths string on a character-based primary key, but again you would only be able to insert one record.
You can't do what you are trying to do, but I suspect that the problem lies in your database design than in SQL Server's limitations.
