| Actually, this is NOT a very complicated procedure. Assume table1.custID = table2.custID. In EM, open table1 in design mode. Click the menu bar icon for "Manage Relationships". Click the "Relationships" tab. Click the "New" button. Now you can select keys/fields from the tables. I'm sure you can figure it out from there. ldh Simon Hayes wrote: > "Mark" <mchung_pc@hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:1117734724.479577.321970@o13g2000cwo.googlegr oups.com... > >>Hi, >> >>How to add a foreign key constraint using the SQL server 2000 >>enterprise manager? >>Not by SQL. >> >>thanks >> > > > I think you have to create a database diagram, then manage relationships in > that somehow, but I don't really know - EM is not a very good tool for > database design or programming.
