Linking database without index

[kevnatajax]

I have 2 databases with one field alike. I want to link with that one field called "Duration". It is exact and I would like to link on it. How do I do this?

Thanks
Renata

I assume you have "PC" type database such as dbase or access. you have some choices:

1) create the index in the relevant software

2) Create an ODBC data source name (DSN) and use it to create the report. No need for indices.

3) Use a sub-report (bad idea). You can link on un-indexed fields in a sub-report. But it creates other problems.
