Oh sh*t - sorry to hear that. You might try creating views with calculated unique fields, I know it comes down to the same thing but it may be easier to work with the key fields rather than the concats.

I would seriously look at a rewrite, you will spend more time pissing about trying to get a badly designed DB to work than you will on a rewrite. This I know, having done it a number of times and walked away from a contract where they refused to do the rewrite.

SQL Server will allow you to add an identity field to an existing table, getting the foreign key in place is a bitch. If you can add the keys you can progressively rewrite the DB using those instead of a complete break.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
