I think a large part of the problem comes from mixing technical terms (that have *highly* specific meanings) with normal prose. I have a feeling that when you say "database" you're in fact referring to what every database admin/developer would know as a "table" (or "relation"), but I'm not sure. A "relationship" also has a specific technical meaning and it may be worth having a look in a technical reference to ensure you're using the term in the way that we will interpret it. A "link" in Access is generally referred to as a "join", but again I'd recommend finding out what this word means before using it too much as, again, it has a very specific technical meaning. However in Access you can perform a "Link Tables..." command which is what you may be describing, based upon the remainder of your description I doubt it though.
