Default Form from a query

First go to the Relationship window and join the two tables with Referential
Integrity enabled. If it won't enable, fix the problem records.

Next create a form based on the first table. On this form place a subform
based on the second table. If you have RI enabled, then the subform wizard
should help.

Note: If you are using a bunch of check boxes in the second table for
different items, there's a good chance that the tables aren't properly set
up. One way to find out is to answer this question: What happens to my
queries, forms, and reports if I have to add another client need? If you have
to modify these queries, forms, and reports to add another field, then the
table has a big problem.
