Name of table

The name of a related table.

Level

The level of the relationship.

A table relationship level indicates how closely a table is related to the selected table.

For example, if the VendTable is the table that you are selecting related tables for, it has one relationship level with the TaxVatNumTable through the CompanyInfo table. The single relationship level means that the VendTable and the TaxVatNumTable both have a relationship to the CompanyInfo table. The VendTable has two relationship levels with the LogisticsAddressCountryRegion table through the TaxVatNumTable. The two relationship levels mean that the VendTable has a relationship with the TaxVatNumTable, and that the TaxVatNumTable has a relationship with the LogisticsAddressCountryRegion table.

There are often multiple relationship paths between related tables, so the same tables may appear with different relationship levels as you are working with them.

Table that has relationship

The table that contains the field that has either a primary key or foreign key relationship with the selected table and the related table.
