This is surely a most rudimentary FAQ, and I must be stupid. Now then:

I have a field for a vendor code. I have a field for a part number. Together
(concatenated) they must be unique. How do I check when the user enters these
two fields that the result of their concatenation (&) is unique, while the
individual field entries themselves will not need to be unique?

Ex:  Vendor Code A1
      Part No. 666

Neither A1 nor 666 should be tested for uniqueness, but A1-666 should. How?
Easy, right? Thanks in advance
