relationships don't seem to work

[the1gofer]

I have two basic tables I am trying to link.  

table A:
personID - auto number - unique
motherID - number
faterID - number

table B:
id - auto number - unique
date - date
type - text
personID - number

I'm trying to do a one to many relation ship between the person ID in tableA to tableB.   When I try to make the link and select the personID it won't show me perosn ID as an option.   What am I missing?

I've been using access for a while, and was looking for an alternative, so maybe I'm thinking about this because that's what I'm used to.

Hi @the1gofer,

Try use "Integer" datatype for personID in table B.

Hope this helps.
