Is there a way to export linked information in access 2010.  For instance the odbc, server& database names associated with each table?  I found the documenter but that is only for one table and is a mess in excel.

Please post the SQL view of the recordsource of the form and the rowsources of the four combo boxes.

The relationship DOESN'T ACTUALLY MATTER at this point. You do need the relationships, but they won't affect how the form works!

My idea was that you would have tblTablenames with fields (I don't remember and can't scroll back to see them) for AccessDatabaseID, ODBCID, SQLDatabaseID and ServerID, as the Recordsource for your form; the form would not have ANY other tables involved at all. It would have a textbox for the table name and four combo boxes, based on the appropriate tables (AccessDatabases, ODBC, SQLDatabases, Servers) and bound to those four ID fields. You would type in the tablename, and then select the appropriate choices from the four combo boxes. Then you'ld move to the next tablename, and so on.

I haven't any trace of a clue what you mean by "it doesn't work... it shows four records at the bottom".

Again: If you're basing the Form on this multitable query, DON'T. That's not how relationships work, that's not how forms work!!!!

Add fields AccessdbID, ODBCID, SQLdbID and ServerID to tblTableName.

You can then use a Form with combo boxes bound to those fields, based on your database, odbc and SQLdb and Server tables.

It's not quite normalized but a) I think it will meet your current needs and it will be quick and b) it can be used to populate normalized tables if you need to move there.

    OK I solved the problem of the SQL query.  If i make all five like this great.  Let me ask you this how do i make a form with all the data so you can select a table and ODBC then add the rest you see what i'm saying we have four sql servers....then some ODBC connections i am not sure as of yet how many.  Then the sql databases and I do not know how many of those.  Then fourty databases and lots of tables. 

    Like i said i've never used 2010.  I've looked at the Microsoft examples but this is just such a different database idea. 

    I apologize I don't know exact amount of each but i've only been there five days.

    ServerName Text

    tblODBC

    ODBCID AutoNumber Primary Key

    ODBCName Text

    ServerID Foreign Key

    TableID AutoNumber Primary Key

    TableName Text

    AccessDB1 Number Foreign Key

    Relationships set up one to many from serverid to serverid...odbcid to odbcid2...sqldatabaseid to sqldatabaseid1....accessdbid to accessdbid1

    qry odbc

    tblodbc and tblserverName connected with serverid

    qrySQLDB

    tblodbc and tblsqlDB connected with odbcid to odbcid2

    form

    odbc

    has record source qry odbc now this one seems to be working good i have it saving and a command button to start new record.

    when i tried to add SQL form is when it messed up and the odbc field didn't show up.  I can try again.  I stepped away walked around outside because you were right i was getting to emotional.   I have very few hours left. 

    Thank you again from my whole heart.
