    Link Columns in two tables

    I have two tables that i just imported from Excel, Company and Client.



    The Company table has information about various companies. The Client table has all of our client contact information.

    I would like to have a "Company Name" column in each of the tables. I want both of those columns to link together. Is that possible?

    If so, please help by giving detailed instructions, or post a link to a page that will show how to do this.

    Thanks in advance!

    Does either table have a CompanyName field right now?

    You can right-click each Table and select Design & then add the fields to the Table.

    Next - you click on Database Tools and select Relationships.
    In there you add your two tables and create a relationship between the newly-created CompanyName fields in the two Tables.

    Google 'MS Access 2010 relationships' - there's plenty of info out there and good help/instructions.

    All the best!
