Tip
As you create your own databases, you need to also
determine where tables are related and how.
1) We begin defining relationships by Tools > Relationships. The
Automobile – OpenOffice.org Base: Relation design window opens

Relation.

2) Click the Add Tables icon. The Add Tables window opens.
3) Use one of these ways to add a table to the Relation design
window:
Double-click the name of the table. In our case, do this for
both Vacations and Fuel.
Or, click the name of the table and then click Add for each
table.
