Specifying a condition between two tables of a table join consists of defining equality relationships between two fields. A relationship of this type stipulates that records in the left and right tables are only included in the result set if they contain the same values. There are exceptions to this in left outer or right outer joins. There can only be an equality relationship between two fields if both have the same type in the database, i.e. they are from the same domain in the Dictionary or their Dictionary types - and lengths - are identical.
You define the equality condition by assigning identical indexes to the fields concerned. For these indexes, you can use any characters, but you are recommended to keep to numeric indexes between 00 and 99.
