I've been working on a newspaper sales database where I should record the number of newspapers sold at a given Outlet for every Date record. I know I don't have the joins right. When I fill-in the Load No. I need all the Outlets related to that Load No. to pop-up in the repeating panel, but it's not doing that. Also, when I create a new record in the main database, the same data pops-up in the repeating panel from the previous record. I think I must need an alias to join to or something. It's very confusing since I don't have much experience in doing this. Please help! Here is what I have:

DATES(main) OUTLETS(detail) SALES(detail)
Date ID No.----------------ID No.
Load No.----------Load No. Draw
Outlet Return
Sold

**SINGLE COPY SALES**

Load No.(DATES)__________ Date:(DATES)____________


Outlet(OUTLETS) Draw(SALES) Return(SALES) Sold(SALES)
_____________________________________________________
Ted's Market 35 4 31
_____________________________________________________
The Bait Shack 15 2 13
_____________________________________________________
Shop N Save 80 12 68
