Default need help with query or report

Kaw,

I can see an issue right off the bat... You based your table design on what
goes in the box, a flat file like doing it in Excel, instead of a relational
design with normalized data. That is why creating reports is difficult if
not almost impossible because these tables can't *talk* to each other.
Unless I am misunderstanding something...

It looks like to me all these items (your different tables) are in boxes
together and you want a report that says what's in the box? Yes, you can
create a report for table tblLockBox but there is nothing in the other
tables to help you know which Box those are in.... Again, unless I am
misunderstanding something...

Kaw,

No screen shots won't help... Here's what I am asking for

tblNameOfTable
NameOfField
NameOfField

tblNameOfTable

Do that for all four tables. Indicate if any of the fields are Primary
Keys.

would it help if I emailed screen prints? I am a newbie to Access so not
sure
