Question : relationship type in Access

Hi

I want to change the relationship type in Access but I can't. It is always one-to-many.
I cant even change the order of this one - to - many. For example, I have 2 entities (A,B) and the relashionship is one-to-many from A to B. In my application in Access the relashionship is always one-to-many but from B to A which is wrong. That's because I can't change it in Access. Can somebody help please?

Thanks a lot.  

Answer : relationship type in Access

waleed,

I am a beginning Access user.  I tried setting up your design -- I found it a useful exercise.  I got the one-to-many relationship in the direction you wanted.  Here's how I did it:

tbl_lecturer
------------
key: lecturerID
name


tbl_course
----------
key: courseID
lecturerID
title


The reason I put lecturerID in tbl_course is, you want each course to have exactly one lecturer.  (I'm not sure I agree with that assumption -- more generally, one would make a tbl_teach that hooks up the lecturer and the course, allowing team teaching.)
