Re: [MS_AccessPros] primary keys and relationships

 

I've uploaded a rar file called ML28-oct to the file section. I do a
little bit of adjustment to get it how I want it.
I then import it into Access. Eventually I want to pull the last 3 runs
for each runner and display them in order from the results file.
