    Need help with foreign keys

    I am new to access and I have an assignment due today that I think I have completely done. But now I want to go back and check everything to make sure I get full credit and I am not sure how to double check if something is a foreign key. I am not even sure if I made them a foreign key.



    Example: I have a table called Assignment with a column called pcode. It is a foreign key to table Project, column code.

    Simply A Foreign key is a field in your table that points to a primary key of another table to get the required Data.
