You would have to create a sequence and reference it with
nextval('sequencename') in your view. But I doubt very much that it will do
anything useful.

It sounds like Access wants to be able to update records by looking them up by
primary key. In that case assigning a new value in your view will make
Postgres make up a brand new number that is utterly useless for finding the
record again later.
