This is done by selecting the “Foreign Key” option from the “Create” menu and then entering the name of the foreign key and the names of the two tables that you want to link. Once this is done, you can then reference data from one table in another using the foreign key. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a generic foreign key, it is important to make sure that the data types of the fields that you are linking are compatible.
