Does access_no contain actual textual data, or is it
simply a key like a category or an integer?  If you
don't need to do a fulltext search against access_no
then there is no reason to include it in your fulltext
index.  You should most likely have a seperate index
for access_no in that case.

The following query assumes access_no is exactly the
same in both balloon_txt and balloon_rec for the rows
you are matching. 

SELECT br.* 
  FROM balloon_txt bt,
       balloon_rec br
       /*find the matching rows from balloon_txt*/
 WHERE MATCH(bt.access_no, bt.recs_txt)
       AGAINST ('robin')";
       /*and join them to rows in balloon_rec using
         the access_no column*/
   AND bt.access_no = br.access_no 

if access_no doesn't need to be full text indexed, you
could drop the fulltext key and add a new one just for
recs_txt and remove bt.access_no from the MATCH()
