Morning all.

I, understandably, am getting errors attempting to update the primary key of an EO. This is a situation where the PK is a meaningful attribute, yet must be user modifiable. (I am fitting a WO app to an existing system that drives our web site. Changing it to work with WO is not possible -nor should it be required in my idealist's world. Ah, the life of the idealist..)

What have others done to work around this? Turning off the PK attribute in the EOModel gives errors were EOAccess expects the entity to have a PK. The only solution that comes to mind is to watch for when the user has modified the PK and manually insert what is essentially a brand new row and delete the old. Is there a simpler solution? If it's there in the API, I'd appreciate a quick pointer where to look, though I didn't see anything obvious from what I've seen so far.

Thanks!
Ben
