I'm stuck again. Here's the deal............ I have a data base to track training. I use three sets of forms to enter data Personnel info, training tasks, and carrer progression. I start out buy putting a new hire into the personnel info then update training through the other two forms. The problem is, when I add a new person the "training tasks" won't take any input. it is fine until I add someone. I checked the relationship between my tables, all show one to many, left joins. BUT when I open the properties for the training tasks query it shows a one-to-one #1 join type. If I make it a left join it then shows as a one-to-one. What have I done to deserve this???? Thanks in advance for any help, Tim
