Well, a primary key should never allow duplicate entries, since the
definition of a primary key is exactly that it is a unique key for a row.
So even if Access could be set to allow it, this capability should not be
turned on, as a matter or good database practice.

You may have to come up with unique key values yourself, and you can
probably do it by using generate-id() on the node that will become a primary
key.
