Solution 1

<pre>SELECT Test1.* , Test2.TestName FROM Test1 INNER JOIN Test2 ON Test1.TestID Foreign Key = Test2.TestID Primary Key WHERE ....</pre>

After WHERE you can put whatever condition you want to search by, this is what I could do and I hope I helped

Good Luck :-)

Are you wondering about joins? You can join the two tables using the foreign key for example like:

SELECT *
FROM Test1 INNER JOIN Test2
     ON Test1.TestID = Test2.TestID

That would bring all the matching rows. For information about joins, see: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp[^]
