Access

Case Insentivity in Relations

Access automatically makes relations on key fields case insensitive.
This is convenient to guard against data entry mistakes.

But this makes it hard to make relations if a unique id is different from
the same character sequence in upper case.

Note how Access treats the following Account_Id's the same, causing duplicates
00100000000mbnd
00100000000mbnD
