Graham I now have 3 columns in my dropdown list can I make just the 3rd
Column right align and the first 2 left align......Thanks Bob
UNBELIEVABLE I did it , I put the 3 Queries together then put lines
between HorseID to HorseID, OwnerID to OwnerID and that sent my records
from 18,000 to 39 Indivual Owners with there horses, I don't believe I
did it ,thanks for your help.......Bob

Hi Bob
It seems you are missing a few of the basics here :-S
The "00" you see in Northwind is actually an infinity sign (an "8" on
its side). It represents the "many" side of a one-to-many
relationship (the "1" represents the "one" side).
The bold fieldnames you see are the tables' primary keys. Do you not
have primary keys, or other indexes, defined in your tables? Every
one of your tables (with perhaps the occasional exception) ought to
have a primary key. This is the means of uniquely identifying a
record - a horse or an owner, for example. I had assumed that your
fields HorseID and OwnerID were the primary keys in those respective
tables.
May I suggest again that you post back some details of your table
designs (table names, field names and types).
If you're desperate, you'll find me in the Auckland phone book.

Looked at Northwind, they seem to get certain field names darker and
there link has 00 and 1 on the line
Is that how they should be linked not just the thin line
Thanks bob
Hi Bob
The related fields in your tables should be joined in the query.
Have you ever created a multi-table query before? Have a look in
the Northwind sample database - there are lots of examples.
If you are still having trouble, post back some details of your
table designs (table names, field names and types).

Graham , join which ones together
I have 3 Query tables in 1 table now!
Thanks Bob
Hi Bob
No problem! Create a new query and add these three queries (or
are they actually tables) into the design area. Make sure that
there are joins between the two OwnerID fields and the two HorseID
fields. Then simply add the four fields you want by dragging them
down onto the query design grid.
