    Relationships


    How do I create a one on one relationship between fields in different tables?

    For example I have a table with position numbers. Based on the position number I would like to auto-insert a job title in the job title field on a different table.

    The job title is in the table with position numbers? Should not save the job title in the other table, just the record ID or position number if that is the primary key from the position table. Then when you join the tables can refer to the job title field to display in forms and reports.

    THat makes sense but I can't get it to work. I guess I don't understand how to use access.

    Need to understand relational database concepts, regardless of the application (SQL, Oracle, dBase). Once that is mastered, building tables according to those concepts is simple. Check this site, review the 'sticky' thread tutorials at the top of forum http://forums.aspfree.com/microsoft-access-help-18/
