We can probably help with your query, but not much until we
see the query and an explanation of the tables and their
relevant fields.

At this point, all I can do is guess that the query is
joining two tables and the other table has multiple records
for each join field value.

It is very hard to review your query without you opening it in design or SQL
view for me.
Do you think you can do that?
I cannot see the table names or the fields and their datatype.

Here is a thought, why not open the query in design view, click on VIEW -
SQL View, hightlight all, copy, and paste in a post.

Open the query in SQL view and post the SQL text here.
