Tables

How do you link two or more tables together and run a query on them both?

RE: Tables

Dear Lisa

Thank you for attending Access Introduction course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

You would link the table by follwoing these steps:

1. File > Get Extrnal Data > Link tables...
2. Select the Database that contains the table to be linked
3. Click the link button
4. In the Link table dialog box select the table/s that you wish to link.
5. Press OK

This will link the tables. You can notice this by observing the blue arrow in front of the table name.

You can create a query as normal by choosing the table and linked table in the show table window and then choosing the fields from the tables.

Please be careful while doing that. If there is no relationship between the tables then the data you might get may not make much sense!!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards
