I'm totally self-taught, using access to try to make my job easier.
I created a table by importing an excel spreadsheet to make a new table.
Now I want to alter that table, and it won't let me, saying it is linked.
I looked under Relationships--no visible link.
I imported to save typing, but I need to add a primary key, and link it to another table.
Am I screwed, or just stupid?
thanks!

In the list of tables does it have a blue arrow to the left of it? If so then you linked the table from the spreadsheet, not imported.

It does, and i guess I did. It said "import" Is this something that happened because it was an excel sheet, or am i just approaching it bass-ackwards? (I blame my teacher!)

You may want to retry it. File > Get External Data > Import
You may have just accidentally clicked the wrong option since Link is right below import. But it is possible to import an excel table into an Access table.
Oh, geez, I guess, sometimes you just have to ask--I would have sworn I hit the right button--I did it 4 times!!, but I tried it again,and it's happy!!
thanks!

Great attitude and humour :) (I guess the bass-ackwards wasn't about any fish.)
I was pleased to see you got sorted in the end anyway.
PS. I was self-taught too, but my teacher was brilliant :D
