I have a FileMaker database called "source" that has a table called "names" that I want to "link/share" with a second FileMaker database called "customers". I have added the "source" database to the "customer" database and have successfully added the "names" table to the relationship graph. My problem is that the "names" table is not listed when you go FILES>DEFINE>DATABASE>TABLES. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

You wont see the tables from the external file there. You can add more table occurence from the other file by going under the Relationships tab and then specifying the Previously defined FileMaker Data source.

I need to clarify. What I am trying to do is add a calculation to the table "names" that is coming from the source database (file) in the customers database. I can't see the table on the tables tab in the customers database and therefore I can't get to the fields in order to add a calculation. I can see the table names in the relationship graph in the customers database.

Thanks

I don't believe I am explaining this very well so I will try again. I have added an external table to the relationships graph, but the table does not appear on the TABLES tab or can not be selected on the FIELDS tab. All other parts of the external table are working fine - meaning I can see the data and create layouts from it, etc.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.

You will have to add those fields within the external file's table itself.
