    Linking Tables

    Can two different databases link to a third database? I have a database called Billing that I am creating a form that I am linking to called Subscriptions. When I go into this Billing database (not mine) I see that it is already linked to another database called Firms (also not mine). Am I able to link to a table that is already linked to another table? If not, what is the work around on this?



    I wanted to ask before I try it and mess up the links between the two databases that aren't mine. Thanks for the help!

    What to you mean by 'link to a table that is already linked to another table'? Can't link on links. Can only link to tables. Yes, two databases can link to the same tables of another database. Same issues as with any multi-user situation.
