You need to store the personalinformation.id in salarydetails table. after that you need to link the personalinformation.id ane the personalinformation.id stored in salarydetails table.

For sure, they got error: ambiguity error, maybe the two tables have some same columns name, I see the syntax is correct.

If you run it against SQL Server or MS Access take this statement and run it there, see if there's error or not.
