Relationship Problems
Good afternoon all:
I have a series of tables between which I am trying to manage relationships. These five tables have several columns that have entries between them that are the same and on an individual basis, I can relate between two or three of the columns without any issues.
What I have is information from a radio system that has multiple agencies, and each of those agencies have 'Site Access Profiles' whereby users can roam between sites (like restricting on which cell tower your phone will be able to work) and between the 'Security Group' and the 'Site Access Profile' there is no problem as each profile belongs to only one security group.
What I have problems with is additional tables for 'Site Access Profile With Valid Sites' and 'Site Access Profile With Requested Sites' and 'Site Access Profile With Critical Sites'. I am trying to make a Matrix that shows Security Groups with Site Access Profile Name and then show the Valid Sites, Requested Sites and Critical Sites, but whenever I try to form a relationship between between more than three tables, the invalidity rears its ugly head.
The goal is to get the Matrix to look something like this:
Security Group Profile ID Profile Alias Valid Sites Critical Sites Requested Sites
I'm taking suggestions, and have a smaller subset of the data in case anyone can help.
Thanks

Hi stevejpage are you able to post a picture of the relationship view so that we can better understand the current issue?

Hi stevejpage, thanks for the image.
What you would need to do, is to centralize all of the "Site Profile Access ID" into one table.Fortunately I did make a note of a very interesting blog post from Jeffery Wang, where he goes into some detail on how to achieve this.
You can find the blog post here: Connect any number of tables together via a common column
