Hey there,

Im not even sure if im using the terminology correctly. Anyway heres
my questions. I have a three tables. The main table has two ID fields.
A website id, which is the primary key in that table, and a
SupplierID.

In the second table, websiteID is not the primary key, so when i want
to relate the table above with this one, its always 1 to many. I need
this to be 1 to 1. what can i do here.

In the third table, the primary key is SupplierID, which is related to
the first table. again the relationship is 1 to many, and i need it to
be one to one.

Also, with the remaining tables, where the relationships are all 1 to
1, each "sub" table displays the correct information from main table.
I need to do this with the table ive just mentioned. is it possible?

regards
adham

Do a search on "one to one relationship" in this group. You will find
you need to adjust your thinking in the use of one to one
relationships.

If you want a one to one relationship between tables just give the
primary key in both tables the same name:
tblTable1.lngPrimaryID
tblTable2.lngPrimaryID
