NullOshowing in Foreign Key
David Cummins 
      
3 years ago
I created a Many to Many relationship using two tables, Table 1 and table 2, connected through a Junction Table. I then create a Form and Subform for the relationship, which works. However, I noticed a null (0) value showing up the foreign keys of both Tables 1 and 2. is this normal? This makes me nervous and I am considering using Lookup Wizards instead. I know using Lookup Wizards is supposedly not good database design but having null Foreign key values doesn't seem like sound database design either. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Here are my tables. Notice the '0' in the Youth ID column of the FamilyHomesT and the '0' in the FosterFamilyID of the YouthT.  Aside from these anomalies, that database seems to be working.

You don't need the Youth ID in the FamilyHomesT or the FosterFamilyID in the YouthT.
These IDs are brought together in the junction table.

See Many-to-Many

Thanks Kevin, I overbuilt, so to speak. Now it makes sense.
