I have a database wit the following fields
have a database with the following Tables

tblCD/Main: CdID - autonumber, CDName - text ...anything else will be a lookup field that we will get from another table, so we will come back to this table

tblAuthorType - AuthorTypeID - autonumber, AuthorTypeName - text. author type name will have, as I see it, 3 types : Composer, Group, Artist.

tblAuthorName - AuthorNameID - autonumber, AuthorName - text, - the name of all authors, composers and artists that u will pick from later
tblecdtrackautonum-trackname track number
Each Artist will be the same for Each CD

the tblCDMain add a AuthorName - lookkup to tblAuthorName
The lookups I understand fine it's relating the identifier the same in both places. I want to have list boxes that display cd groups and cdname the cdnames related only to those groups

How do I try relating the cd name table
to the track listing on the field of cd identifier which is the same in
both places. IS the identifier the same for the primary key
Should put together a query between the two tables, and relate them on that
one field (cd id) then the query will pull the tracks which are listed for
that id and the cd names which are listed for that id.
I need help with this to figure out the identifier is it cdname and cd tracks?
Please someoen help I need a response based on tables for my database NOT ON A DATABASE FROM A BOOK WHERE I CANT SEE A CONNECTION LIKE A PLANTS DATABASE THEN I DONT KNOW IF PLANTS IS THE SAME AS FOR THAT ID. ANY HELP APPREICATED/
