Relatings tables

I am not clear how access determines which is the 1 and which is the "many" tables.

Also how does having multiple relationships between tables affect the result.

RE: Relatings tables

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Access assigns the one part of a relationship to the table with the Primary key and the Many to the Foreign key in the related table.

e.g. Customer table and Orders table:

Primary Key - CustomerID in the Customers table
Foreign Key - CustomerID in the Orders table

Do you mean a junction table where you have multiple foreign keys linking to Primary keys in other tables?

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Zoom feature for queries

If youare working on on query design and creating a calculated field, it can be hard to view the whole statement. You can hold the shift key down and press F2, to show the zoomed up version of the query field
