Hi I’m newish to Airtable and I haven’t got to grips properly with Linking. As a newbie I’m using the ‘free’ version of Airtable. Do I need to have a paid account to link tables? If not please help, thank you very much in advance.

HI @Michael_Scawen ,
You have access to everything you need in the free version.
Lets say you have 2 tables. the first one called People, with a field called names. Another table called pets with a field called Pet Name.
In the People table, add a new field that is type Link to a Record. Choose the Pets table. Now click into the new linked Pets record for the first person in the list and choose a Pet.
Now both tables are linked to each other. You can no add Lookup type column if you want to pull in more data about the pet other than name.
