Newbies Reige Posted August 18, 2004 Newbies Posted August 18, 2004 Hi all, I have attached my database file with the hope someone can help me get over this problem. I am trying to develop a database which provides a report based on 3 tables which are linked together. I generate a report with sub summaries but It shows me a single field from the main table (Document) with records for each individual record in table 2 (section) which relate to the record in the main table, but doesn't then repeat for the next record in the main table OR show the records in the 2nd table as a list below the record from the main table. It doesn't show any records for the 3rd table. Is this a relationship problem with my tables. I know it might sound complex but any help would be greatly appreciated. The tables, with the relationships, are: DOCUMENT --1--M-< SECTION --1--M-< SUBSECTION Reminds me of sub reports in access. The report I am looking for needs to look similar to the following. DOCUMENT -->SECTION 1 -->section 1 text -->Sub Section 1.1 -->subsection 1.1 text -->Sub Section 1.2 -->Subsection 1.2 text -->SECTION 2 -->section 2 text -->Sub Section 2.1 -->Subsection 2.1 text -->Sub Section 2.2 -->Subsection 2.2 text END OF Report Thanks for any help.

RalphL Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 Reige, Please try compressing your attachment again. I have tried 3 times to download it and all failed to expand. I would like to see your files so that I can see if there is a way to make your report.
Newbies Reige Posted August 25, 2004 Author Newbies Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks for your replies, sorry have been away. I have solved the problem by going to a single table, as FM support recommended. This seems to be the only solution as I have tried everything. It may not be pretty, but it works. Thanks very much for your help, Rich.
