Hi there, I am new to Access and haven't used query before, so explaining things in query to me is probably a bit useless.
Anyway, I want the ProductID's to show up in my Employee field, but I am having trouble doing so.

I was able to achieve this in my Materials table with Employee ID, which had autonumber as the data type.

Basically I want to be able to achieve the same thing from my materials table, but with my employees table, but with the product ID if that makes sense.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand
Hi!
Is this possible only in queries, okay?
For this, the tables used in the query must have some field or fields in common, in which the information is related.
Is there a field in the tables?

To be honest, I can't think of any way you'd need a productID in an Employees table. Only Employee information should be in the Employees table (so you'd expect EmployeeIDs but never ProductIDs).

Unless each Employee can only sell 1 Product I am not sure what is to be gained by this. Same with the Materials. Can each employee only handle 1 type of Material?
