Setting FK in SQL server management studio
I am not an experienced programmer and am setting a small sports team DB using SQL Management Studio for our web site. I have two tables. One is TeamType. It has a PK of TeamTypeID, then TeamName. That will hold team types like baseball, soccer, basketball, etc. Then I have a Team table. PK is TeamID. I would like a FK of TeamTypeID. But without coding, I don't see how to set this as a FK in the Team table. Thanks for helpl
Within Management Studio, open the keys/indexes properties on the Team table. There you can create the FK.

I did that, tried that. I established the relationship but there is no FK next to the field in the database design view.

Maybe I am doing that wrong. When I go to Team table and go to Add in the Indexes/Keys it defaults to adding IX_Team*, which is I assume an index, not a key? If I go to Foreign Key Relationships it seems to be where I can establish the relationship. In this case I have a FK_Team_TeamTypeID. Foreign Key Base Table=Team. Foreign Key Columns=TeamTypeID. Primary/Unique Key Base=TeamType. Primary/Unique Key Column=TeamTypeID. This looks correct to me, but there is no FK next to the TeamTypeID column in Team table, like there is a key symbol next to TeamID. Have I successfully created the relationship and don't know it?

In VWD, Database Explorer there is no Keys in the Team table ladder. All i have are the columns.

I opened the DB with SQL Management Studio and I see the keys. But that doesn't show in VWD. Maybe it just that way?
