Trying to figure out how to create a contact relationship database

[intern24]

Hello!
Sorry if this is a bit rambley, it is a hard thing to explain
I need some help trying to figure out how to relate tables a database. I am semi-new to access, so I just need some help where to go.
I am creating a database that is full of two large contact lists.
I need to create a form that I can send to people to fill out.
This form is only being sent out to one of the contact lists (1) and it is about how they know the individuals on the other contact list (2).
So I would like the form to have the name of the individual from contact list 2 and then 3 options of how the person on list 1 knows them. (friend, colleague, acquaintance)
I have been able to sent up the form, but where I am having trouble is how to "save" the data from this form in a readable and manageable format.
I need to be able to use this data day-to-day.



Any and all advice is appreciated.
Please help a access newbie

Parent form / child form.
say the parent form is 1 person (tPerson table with PersonID key) and shows all detail of this person.

the child form based on tContacts
has the PersonID (long)
and ContactID (long) which can be a person in the tPerson table. A self relating because everyone is a person.

if you dont want self relating, then tContactPersons can be a table identical to the tPerson table in fields.
but you still need the tContact table to show who knows who, except ContactID comes from tContactPersons table.
