It's not that bad after you get some practice.. especially with the guru's here!

The relationship is not needed to perform this task you started the thread for. In this instance, a relationship just helps speed up the database a teeny tiny bit.

I did create the relationship first though.. just good practice to create a relationship as soon as you have related data and unique identifiers.

if you don't create any relationships you cannot enforce referential integrity, nor will you get subforms, queries etc. to work properly.

Right, but in the example it wasn't developed far enough to do any of those things yet.
