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.

    Artistlover, you're posting a whole lot of emotion and very little fact.

    You can see your database. you know the names of the tables, the names of the fields.

    WE CANNOT. We can only see what you post here in text.

    Please post the following information about your five tables:

    Table name

    All relevant fieldnames

    Primary Key for each table

    What you have tried to relate to what

    Sample data for a few significant fields

    The source of your data: are you typing in database names, trying to extract them automatically from some source, ...?
