Setting up relationship with three DB's

[barcelona]

Hi all,

I have a question. I was given a DB with eight tables. Now, I have to integrate two other DB's that have 10 tables each in them. Getting the relation is not that big of a problem; however, is it optimal to just copy and paste the tables from the other DB's into my current DB??? Or (sorry I am still a novice with DB's) is it possible to keep each of the three DB's individualized and put a primary key link from one DB file to the other DB files???

Cordially,

Given that FM doesn't give you the ability to cut and paste tables, your best bet is to keep the files separate and create file references from one file to the next. Otherwise, you'd have to manually re-create each remote table in your current file, and then import records into it.

HTH,
