How do you create a link between two tables, both in Access? I am a student
who is working on a class project with Access. I have never used this program
before and I'm really lost. Can someone help me please?

Depends on what you mean by "create a link". Define a Relationship using the
Relationships window (there's an icon in the toolbar that looks like three
little datasheets joined by lines); add the two tables and drag the linking
field from the "parent" table to the corresponding field in the "child" table.
To create a Query joining two tables, just add the two tables to the query
design window and again drag the linking field.
