PROBLEM
Relate is unavailable in the Options > Related Tables context menu.
No objectID type column exists in one or both tables. A table without an objectID must contain a unique, not null, indexed field to fully participate in relates and support selections. ArcGIS recognizes any numeric field that meets these criteria as type objectID and enables relates and selections.
