Relationships 101

[iRage]

I need a little help. I have 3 databases.

1) Manager 2) Assets 3) Employees

I want to use the Manager to edit, add and control the data in the other datbases. The other databases are to be used as data storage only. All information is to be viewed in the Manager.

I created a "recordID" field in each database, but I am unsure how to make the relationship.

Can some one pass along some tips?

I assume you have more than one manager. In the manager file change the recordID to ManagerID. In asset file change recordID to AssetID and in employee change recordId to EmployeeID. Make these fields auto entered serial number. Add a ManagerID field to both assest and employee. Now make relationship from manager to asset using ManagerID. Also Make relationship from manager to employee using ManagerID. In the manager layout make protals using these relationships.
