They are used internally by access. You do not want to mess with then unless you want to "crash" your database.

What are you trying to do?

Retrieve them the same way you are retrieving data from other tables in databases. Setup a connection and populate a recordset from the table that they reside in, using a bit of SQL to return the required records.

Couldnt tell you what they are used for, I dont particularly use relationships (as such) in my developments - but other than managing keys from the look of it, I doubt they do very much at all. But fortunately MS Access knows how to use them, which is the main thing.

Personally, I think you are going so far over the top with documenting this (for what appears to be a tennis club database), cant imagine these being of use in any capacity in an actual development - unless you are developing your own RDBMS, so I assume it is for documentation.

You cannot write to these tables, anyway - so reading the data from them is, frankly, pointless - since to replicate any data in the table will require you to enter it in a totally different manner and format.
