I am trying to build a small database to help me understand how tables work together in Access. I am using an example of a library database with three tables: Borrower, Loan and Book tables.
When I am creating the tables in design view I am unsure which data type to use. I have tried many different combinations and i keep getting a type JOIN mismatch error when I try to build forms.
I have the borrower set up as the main table with the borrowerID being the primary key set up as autonumber property.
When it comes to setting up my next 2 tables I am not sure if I need to use an autonumber property for the primary keys for these tables as well or if I just use the number property and let access assign the numbers for those tables.
If my question seems a little jumbled I'm sorry as I said I am a new user and I am trying to stumble by on my own!
Thanks for any help!
