Creating relationships and changing data in multiple tables

I have 3 databases that I have linked based on a couple fields. They are linked by the actual values in the fields and not by foreign keys because of limitations in how much code I can change.

I would like to be able to change one of the linked values in any one of the databases and have it change that value in the two other databases. Any ideas in how to do this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

You could put a global field on your layout in which you enter the new value. Then run a script that sets that value into the related tables, and as the last step sets it into the parent table. I.e. change the foreign keys first, then change the primary key. Does that make sense?
