    Duplicate records appearing in continuous form search output--causes?

    Hi all,



    I have a search form that outputs records from a query onto a continuous form. The query itself sources three tables. My issue is I in some cases am getting repetitive records appear. For instance, I search a farmers name, and their record is appearing twice. When I look in the query it is also appearing twice. I am sure I do not have duplicate data in my tables, so this has me a little stumped.

    Any ideas of comment would be happily embraced!

    Sincerely,

    Wesley

    Are you using Joins in your query?

    Yes! I experimented with my outer joins. Doesn't look like they are causing the issue

    Experiment with the query (which is then cause of the duplicates). Cut down the tables until you find which join is the culprit.

    I have found the answer!

    I have two, one-to-may relationships connecting to a single table in this query. Upon removal of one of the tables I have zero repetition! I'm not exactly sure why this occurred (i would love the explanation) but I am very thankful it was a simple fix!
