Whats a join table?Hi Guys,

Hi Guys,

Sorry for being thick, but can someone describe what a join table is, and when best to use it. As far as my vague and limited knowledge goes, its a table that "joins" two tables, but does that mean its an additional table in the system that is only used to display data (I take it - no data entry goes into this - it just pulls in related data for viewing).

Thanks once again guys, I'm just trying to increase my knowledge, and understand some of the basic concepts.

I posted a sample file yesterday for the many to many relationship that uses the join table. The join table is used in the many to many relationship. It must contain the foreign keys that are used in the relationship to the other 2 tables. It may contain data that is unique to the combination of the 2 related records. Consider it a line item type of table.

Thanks Ralph,

I'll wait to get into work tommorow as they have Macs (you've used .sit compression), and Im working on a PC at home trying to view your example.
