Report linking problem... can't find a solution

Hey guys,

I have a few tables:

tblQuestion tlbCategory tblQuestionResponse
Focus CategoryID QuestionID
Question Page Text
QuestionID CategoryID
CategoryID

Now I'm trying to setup a report that prints out one question from tblQuestion at a time, along with the appropriate text from tblQuestionResponse. Each categoryID has a set of questions from tblQuestion. There are focus fields that are each related to a question that I am having a problem print. I want to print the focus fields at the bottom of the report after the questions and the text fields have already printed. I want it to look like
|Question| |Text |
this: |Question| |Focus |

This means that some of the questions need to be printed out twice. but i only want the second group printed after the first.

I've tried making a subreport for the question and focus but that hasn't worked. i thought that by using categoryID as the link child/master it would work.

any suggestions or questions???
i would appreciate all the help pretty stuck here.

Thanks,
Mike

It looks from your field list like the focus field is in the question table? If so, you need only the question table to print the question/focus. Putting the single-table sub-report (using only the question table) following the multi-table question/answer sub-report should work.
