Managing same data between files

Inventory Database files

How can I link several database files which has common items between all files.

Ex. Medication Stickers - is a similar item for 15 files. If I update inventory in file 1, I need all other 14 files to reflect this same update.

Thank you.

I've gotten quite a few views but no replies to my post. Do I need to put more detailed information? Can someone please help?

Thank you

One relates several FM files by using key fields. Read up on relationships.

More specifically, store the inventory information in *one* table, and have all the other layouts display the data that is stored in the first table. You enable the display of this data through the relationships that bcooney mentioned.
