    Relationship Type

    I have following tables where Ref No is the unique identifier.

    One Reservation can have multiple payments.
    One Reservation can have one event manager.
    One coordinating report comes from Event Manager for each event.
    Final bill is raised after coordinator report comes.



    How to make relationship in access and what kind of relationship needed here.

    Reservation
    Ref No Client Name Event Date Telephone Performa Invoice Value Venue
    Refundabale Non Refubable
    Payment
    Ref No Client Name Payment Value
    Refundabale Non Refubable
    Event
    Ref No Client Name Event Manger
    Coordinator Report
    Ref No Client Name Event Date Submitted Date Event Manager
    Final Bill
    Ref No Client Name Final Bill Amount

    In your tables and description, where are Client, Invoice and Event?

    - there should be no Final Bill Amount field. Calculations like this should not be stored.
    - don't repeat data (Refundabale, Non Refubable).
    - you have a client table? Then no repeating data such as client phone number in other tables.
    - event date is not in event table, but in reservation table?
    Nor would I repeat the Ref No everywhere. Are you going to try to set up referential integrity and cascade update all these fields if you should have to edit a Ref No entry error? I think you need to reconsider data structure before worrying about relationships. Perhaps these will help
