Hey everyone,
I'm still stuck on the same problem, but I'm trying out different things. If you want to check out what the problem is click here . Anyways, I was reading out what I might want to try and one of those things was Referential Integrity. But when I go to add those options to my relationship, all 3 options are greyed out. Any ideas?

Thanks

Joing Primary field to Primary field?

Becareful here. This will be a one-to-one relationship, usually reserved for special circumstances. For example tblEmployeePublic captures public data, and tblEmployeePrivate captures confidential data. tblEmployeePublic would have EmployeeID as the primary key with Autonumber, and tblEmployeePrivate would have EmployeeID as the primary key but would be defined by a long integer.

...Moving on
Are you trying to join tables from the front end databases. The tables are liked to the back end. You can not enforce referential integrity on a linked table.
