    Use of Lookup Tables

    I have two tables; 1, a Customer Table that a customer supplies an ID and some personal information; 2, an Order Table that opens once the Create Order button is pushed on the Customer Table.



    What I need to do is get the Customer ID in the Order Table to look up and populate from the Customer Table. I thought the best way to dothis is to use a LookUp Wizard, but every time I try to do that a window pops up and says that I need to save the table before any relationships can be saved. I save it and try again and get the same response. I tried to test it and it does not work because none of the information I populated in the LookUp Wizard was saved.

    Please help, I am new to Access and need guidance.

    Are you entering data directly in tables or using forms?

    The customer records are already in table?

    I don't use wizards so not sure why you encounter that message.

    Too many unkowns here. Provide project for analysis.
