Hey everyone,
we have this strange behaviour of our relationships in relationship view.
the scenario is that we are adding a second instance of some tables and trying to add relationships between these and another table.
what access is doing is changing the relationships we have made back to their 'origins', so to speak. we don't know if we're setting this up incorrectly, so advice on that front is also appreciated...
please see the two attached images. image 1 is how we had set it up. image 2 is what access does to it. this behaviour occurs automatically and even after only closing and reopening the relationship view.
we are using second instances because we have a separate collection that needs to be stored in the same boxes as another collection, so thought it best to not 'circular reference' the relationships between the two...
if you could have a look at the images and let us know if we can just use the one instance or if there is a better way to do this we'd be much obliged
IMAGE ONE (how we want the relationships)
IMAGE TWO (how access changes them)
