Default set up tables with proper relationship

New to access 2003. Have been reading my access 2003 bible and lessons on
line and now am attempting to make my first relational database using proper
technique but I'm struggling and would like direction. I have two tables. I
would like to set up the database so that I can combine the two tables by
using a query and then set up a form based on the results of that query.
I am doing something wrong because I can not set up a relationship . I would
like data entry from the form to populate the tables.

tblCensus tblAudit
CensusID primary Key autonumber patientID number
PatientID number question1 yes/no

patientName text question2 yes/no
AdmitDate date question3 yes/no
Diagnosis text

For an example of how to set up a questionaire/survey/census database,
download Duane Hookom's At YHour Survey database from:
