Microsoft Access - Create Relationships with the Relationships Pane

Overview

A relationship in Access helps you combine data from two different tables. Each relationship consists of fields in two tables with corresponding data. For example, you might have a ProductID field in a Products table and in an OrderDetails table. Each record in the OrderDetails table has a ProductID that corresponds to a record in the Products table with the same ProductID.

When you use related tables in a query, the relationship lets Access determine which records from each table to combine in the result set. A relationship can also help prevent missing data, by keeping deleted data from getting out of synch, and this is called referential integrity.
