RE: creating relationships

Hi Sylwia,

Thank you for your question.

If you have forgotten to link two tables, go to the Tools menu and choose Relationships.

Add the tables to be linked by using the Show Table button(table with a yellow plus) on the toolbar.

Then link the tables by dragging the Primary key onto the Foreign key to create the relationships.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Deleting duplicate records from a table

You cannot delete records tables where there duplicate records. A way around this is to create a new table which wont hold the duplicates. and then deleting the old table.

1. Use a make-table query based on this table only. IMPORTANT - Ensure that you include all of the fields from your original table or you may loose data.

2. Open the query's property sheet by using VIEW, QUERY, PROPERTIES, and set the Unique Values property to Yes

3. Because you have selected the Unique Values to Yes when you run the query, Access creates a new table without duplicate records. You can now delete the old table and rename the new one.
