You need to create a primary key or unique index on any SQLS tables
you want to modify from Access.

Why do I have to do that? And if my primary key is based
on many columns will that cuse any problem?

Why? because it won't work if you don't. Access can't locate the row
on the server, update it, and guarantee data integrity if the table
doesn't have a PK. If your PK is based on too many columns, then you
should consider a surrogate PK. A good starting point would be

Database Design" by Mike Hernandez.
