Hi Vinny

First you need to have some fields in common on your tables... So that they could get related.

Example

You have some sales

Sales:

LOAD

OrderID,

ProductID,

Sales

From …….

Notice that I have ID´s so that they could get related with a Product table

Products:

LOAD

ProductID,

Product,

Product_Desc

From . . . . . .

So you need to identify those keys and put them the same name.

Best Regards!
