Join the Tables

When you join Tables you create a relationship between one table and another. The join is created by matching Fields with the same Data Type: Text with Text, or Numbers with Numbers.

 

In this example, we will join tblMovies to the Genre and the Rating.

 

2. Try it: Join the Tables

Select a Field from tblMovies: Rating.

Drag that Field to the Rating Field in tblRating.

 

What Do You See? The Join is represented by a black line from Rating in tblMovies to Rating in tblRating.

 

Try This, Too: Join the Tables

Select a Field from tblMovies: Genre.

Drag that Field to the Genre Field in tblGenre.

 

What Do You See, Now? There should be another Join from Genre in tblMovies to Genre in tblGenre.

 

Keep going...
