This might work rather nicely. It would enable us to restrict direct
access to only a single table---a table with no purpose other than to
faciliate a join of these two other tables. And staff that needs direct
access to the original tables can continue to have it.

Yes, unfortunately we do need to re-reference them. But I think the idea
above will work out pretty well. Thank you for your help!
