I have a question which mayb answered before: I read similar topics but did not understand the solution well.
I have 2 tables;

*class list*- a list of all students with their ID numbers(as PK), addresses, major, etc

course - records other course related info such as assignments, start dates etc..
I liked the the tables in a master/detail way: I have ID feild in course as a FK
Now i want to link the tables in a hyperlink manner, meaning:

Clicking on a student ID in course pulls up class list** with only the clicked student record
I am not sure how to Join the tables in the particular way i want and in a hyperlink fashion.
Any help would be highly appreciated <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=2839&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=2839&image=2&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=2839&image=3&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=2839&image=4&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

to make my question clear:
I linked the tables thru master/detail relationship,

Hi,
select hyperlink field in the View as dropdown box on the Formatting tab for your studentid field and use following URL prefix:

students_list.php?a=search&value=1&SearchField=N&SearchOption=Equals&SearchFor=



where N is index of your ID field in students table (0,1,2 etc.).

It worked, thanx Jane
I got another question;
I got 1 master table (student) and several dependent tables (courses),

how can i move entries between the dependent tables?

Say a student completes course 1 and needs to be in course 2,
