    Special Relationship Problem

    I'm going to simplify my problem here to explain what I'm trying to do.



    two tables:

    tblPeople - Fields are PeopleID, PeopleName
    tblRelationships - Fields are Parents, Children - both fields are for the IDs of the people. People can have zero, one or multiple children and zero, one or multiple parents.

    Is there a way to show an entire lineage of names in one view? I was thinking using subforms some how? Looking for ideas on how I would accomplish this. Doesn't necessarily have to be graphically (cross tab datasheet?).

    Thoughts?
