Re: Help Please

Najm;

Try this:

1. In the Invoice table, make the Project Number AND the Customer Number a
two-part key field. You can do this in the design view of the Invoice table by
selecting both fields and then clicking the key button on the toolbar.

2. Make sure the Customer Number is a key field in the Customer table. Also,
make sure the data types for the Customer Number are the same in both the
Invoice and Customer tables.

3. Create a query and join the Customer Number fields for both tables. Make it
a one to many join with the "many" side on the Customer table.

4. Drag the table fields you want to see in the query to the table lines below
the image of the two tables (still in the query design view).

5. Open the form in design view and set the form's source to the query you just
designed.

If I understood you properly, I think this will take care of your problem.

Sincerely,

John A. Carter
