Certainly it is possible to do this. I have created multiple tables that build off of
ebase - some of them 3 or 4 "levels" deep.
The basic technique is to create the table including a key field that links to a field
in an ebase file - if it's connected to Names, that's generally your Record Number
field. Then create a relationship (usually in both files) to connect them to each
other.
How did you create the tables. What sort of gobbledegook are you seeing? If you just
created the table, there shouldn't be any data in it. Can you give some specifics?
