    A database with Linking Tables

    Simultaneously, I'm maintaining 2-seperate used car dealership dbs which contains a Customers & a Vehicles Table amongst a few other tables which isn't relevant. Now I've created this other dbs in which I want to track 1) all of the vehicles sold, the sale price & sale Date via Dealership . 2) Likewise, I also wish to create a Customers table combining all of the customers from both dealerships. So, as I said I have 2-customers Tables from 2-dealerships, how can I combinee them into 1-table or query? And the data in these tables will be updated because they're linked to their individual dealership dbs.

    Each db can have links set to the other's tables. However, 'combining' the customer tables and still have them editable is probably not possible. A UNION query will accomplish the 'combine' and the two tables will appear as one. However, a UNION query is not editable. You can search, sort, filter but cannot edit the records.
