Help for Newbie

[Adam Robert]

Hi I am very new to file maker and I need help.  I have to tables I am trying to connect.  One table has employee information including employee number, name, etc.  The other is a table where two employees make up a team or "unit". On the Unit table I have employee #1 and #2.  I am trying to figure out how to be able to relate each employee to the Personnel table.  I have a feeling this is a very basic question.  Any help is greatly appreciate!  

 

Here is a screen shot of the tables I have set up now. Only employee #1 can see info on the personnel table.

Actually, it's not as basic as it would seem. There are several ways you could look at this. But first, let's understand the exact situation you're tracking:

1. Can a unit ever have more than two employees?
2. Can an employee belong to more than one unit? (Even if not, would you want to keep a history of employee's membership in a unit, in case they're reassigned?)
