    Adding Lookup Columns to a Table

    In the tutorial listed here: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...0-23526F07FC35



    It states after opening the database in Datasheet view :

    In the Navigation pane, double-click the table in which you want to create the lookup column - this opens the table in datasheet view.

    On the Datasheet tab, in the Fields & Columns group, click the lookup column.

    And it show you some icons.


    ?


    I do not see them. Where are they?

    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Respectfully,

    Lou Reed

    First, I NEVER build lookups in table.

    Second, this tutorial is based on Access 2007, not 2010. Therefore, I don't see a 'Datasheet' tab. There is a 'Fields' tab with 'More Fields' dropdown. One option on this menu is 'Lookup & Relationship'. I have never used this ribbon tab - do table mods in Design View.
