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?

 

Thanks,

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?
