The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .
Each different type of table has its own set of linked fields.
