I can't work out how to set-up a qry based on multiple criteria on a single field without obtaining duplicate records. DISTINCT doesn't do the trick here. What should be the approach?
This is for a library database holding a collection of publications. For ach publication one or more special interest areas can be indicated (Area1, Area2, Area3 etc). Area and publication are connected through a many-to-many table.
When I search for papers that are marked for eg Area1 and Area3 the records that are marked for both areas will show up twice in the table. I understand why that happens, I don't understand what to do to avoid it.
Anyone got any pointers?
