When you have related tables such as Customers and their Orders, the Customer table is the Primary table.
Open the Customers table in datasheet view and go to the Home Tab and Records group. Click on the More option and choose Subdatasheet and then click on Subdatasheet again. Now choose the related table (Orders) and click ok.
Now you can click the + symbol by each company to show the related orders.
