  2. In your database diagram, right-click the relationship line corresponding to the foreign key, then choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
  3. Choose the Relationships tab.
  4. Make sure the relationship is selected in the Selected relationship list.
  5. The Foreign key table column displays the name of each column that participates in the foreign key side of the relationship.
