Getting old/converted databases into the Tables window

I have four old fmp 6 databases that I have converted to 8.5. Now I'm trying to establish relationships between them, but I cannot figure out how to add each database/table to the Tables window for each database. I assume I need to have each database/table listed in the Tables window in order for them to be used in the Relationships window. The current name of each database are; Customers, Invoices, Products and Salesmen. Each database already has primary/key fields, and lots of data. Thanks!

No, the tables listed under the Tables tab are local tables only. To establish a relationship to a table in another file, select the Relationships tab, click the "Add a table to the relationships graph" button and choose the file/table to add.

You can also import the other tables into a single file and eliminate the other files.
