When you create a primary key on a table, does the primary key create an index or is it just a constrinat on the table

Thanks

Open your table in design view.

Click the Indexes button on the toobar.

You will see that Access uses the name "PrimaryKey" for the index that is
the primary key.

Yes; it creates an Index named PrimaryKey.
