Question : Table wont relate properly

I want to correctly relate a stubborn table. I just started reading a book dedicated to table design but I'm pressed to make this project functional today.

This should be a pretty easy question for you experts. I've spent too long fiddling with this and am now seeking your advice.

Please see "Main Form" attachment: For each document, I want to be able to assign multiple receipts. Correspondingly, I wish to be able to store multiple items and their cost per each receipt.

I will be forever grateful and remember you each time I enter data, if I can get this to work with your advice.

Everything else works, except this matter.

Gratefully,
Steve

Answer : Table wont relate properly

Some Suggestions
a) Your ID fields in all tables should be of type AutoNumber so that the values will be generated automatically.
b) Establish proper Primary / Foreign Key relationships between the Main table and the related dimension tables.  Database Tools / Relationships
c) On your Subform Container within the main form, Make sure that the link master fields and link child fields properties are appropriately set.
Good luck.
