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.

    You've really been tying yourself in knots, and looking back over the thread I've probably done more to confuse you than to help.

    I think it is much simpler than you're making it.

    Please try this: create a form based directly on tblTableName. No query, no joins, no other tables.

    On this form put a textbox bound to TableName. Put on a combo box bound to ServerId with a Rowsource like

    SELECT tblServerName.ServerID, tblServerName.ServerName ORDER BY Servername;

    This will display the servername on the form but store the ServerID.

    Do the same for the other three ID fields.

    You will need a query joining all the tables LATER, for the recordsource for a printed Report, but you don't need it for this form.
