tyler Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I have 3 tables, table1 table2 table3 They all have the same field; field1 field1 field1 Therefore, when anything gets changed in field1, it needs to update it 3 times. Is there a way to symlink the fields in the other 2 tables so it just looks at table1\'s field1 for the other 2 tables?

Barand Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 That\'s precisely the reason why data should be held in one place and not duplicated across tables. The only things that should be duplicated are (non-changing) key references for joining tables. What is the structure of your 3 tables?
