How Do I Link 2 Tables To Act As One Table?

What I need is a table that will hold a primary key field and 16 text fields at 255 characters per field. (NO memo fields) This will total about 4,080 characters but Access 2000 limits the record size to 2,000 characters.

I have two tables with 9 fields in each table in a one to one relationship as follows:

Table1: Primary Key = MyKey = autonumber field.
Table1: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field.
(i.e. Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4, Data5, Data6, Data7, Data8)



Table2: Primary Key = MyKey = number field.
Table2: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field
(i.e. Data9, Data10, Data11, Data12, Data13, Data14, Data15, Data16)



The problem is I want all the fields to act as though they are from a single table and to be on a single form. I don’t know how to go about the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields without using a SubForm. A SubForm don’t work because it expects the second table to have many records.
