Indexes in Access

9
Hi all,

I have a problem with indexes in tables. I made an inventory DB where we can store items on several locations. Their are several difference items, each kind of item has his own table because they all have different fields that the user has to fill in.
The only thing they have in common is the place, they're all stored in the same room, which has numbered racks and each rack has numbered spaces (for example: Sample X is in Room 1, Rack A, location B)
The combination of Room-Rack-Location has to be unique, this I can do in one table by using indexes, but how can I combine the indexes of several tables?
Do you think it is better to keep the track of place inside another table but how can I do this?

Thanks for your assistance!
