[HELP] Relationship Issue

Hi All

I have two objects
  • Courses__C
  • Contact 
Many exisiting Students can sign up to course a 
and one student can be connected to multiple courses.

Using the lookup relationship field only does one to one and then you have to create contacts rather than just picking and choosing the individual courses.

How can this be determined guys?

Please help out

Regards

You can create the junction object to create the many to many relationship between two object.

Please create one new object enrollment with two lookup.
One is Contact lookup and 2nd will be course lookup.

in that one student can enrolle in multipe course and multiple course can be enrolled by multipe student.

Hi,
You Create a Many-to-Many Relationship.
You can use master-detail relationships to model many-to-many relationships between any two objects. A many-to-many relationship allows each record of one object to be linked to multiple records from another object and vice versa. For example, you may have a custom object called “Bug” that relates to the standard case object such that a bug could be related to multiple cases and a case could also be related to multiple bugs. When modeling a many-to-many relationship, you use a junction object to connect the two objects you want to relate to each other.

A custom object with two master-detail relationships. Using a custom junction object, you can model a “many-to-many” relationship between two objects.
