Appending not transferring data over correctly What am I doing wrong

[jstrickland]

OK, so im new to this high tech stuff.
So here goes Im creating a database for a Childcare company I work for and what im ideally wanting is to keep a record of each parents weekly childcare
bill so to do that I created two tables one that holds Parent information about there billing address children they pay for, governmental assistance they receive ect I also created out of one of those tables a form for easier data entry.

Now heres my problem when I go and append certain information from one table to the other it will multiply the data several times instead of going into to that


certain parents information.

All primary keys are just auto number could this be the issue could access be seeing all data information as new data and not new data of that certain parent?

Any Help would be totally appreciated

1. Can you send screenshots of your two tables in design view - and also showing some data?
2. How are you doing this:

append certain information from one table to the other
