    clinic database

    I am trying to set up a clinic database - I have put together what I think I need, and would be grateful for any feedback
    I need to query how long people have been on the waiting list, list appointments and with which clinician and other stats related questions

    I tried to set up - I have a flat file with client contacts, and I created another database with all the GP names and addresses in - I then created a relationship - I was not allowed to enforce referential integrity and when I clicked on the plus sign = I was not allowed to add the GP auto number and name, was automatically taken to the next blank auto number?


    Is it best that I set up tables empty and then add the information - it's crazy I passed Access 2000 MOUS, but can't do the simplest thing!
    Thanks for any guidance
    Have attached the tables I think I need

    If you're trying to create relationships on existing data in tables, you'll probably want to use the 'unmatched query wizard' to identify 'orphaned' records first. That is records in 1 table which don't have a matching field value in the other table. I almost always enforce referential integrity when I create relationships. Make sure to also edit your join line between the tables and select which type of relationship you want (ie. all records from table A which equal table B, all records from table A and those that match table B, or all records from table B and those that match table A. - you have 3 choices.) You double-click on the joining line between the 2 tables in the relational schematic.
