BC> I'm suffering from a case of massive brain flatulence and can't for

BC> situation:
BC> Given the following two tables where Table 1 is a list of fruits grown
BC> in a certain county and Table 2 is a list of growers in that county
BC> and their crops:
BC> Table 1 Table 2
BC> #===CROP=== ==#===GROWER===CROP1===CROP2===CROP3===CROP4===CROP5=
BC> 1 Apples 1 Smith Figs Pears
BC> 2 Oranges 2 Jones Apples
BC> 3 Bananas 3 Brown Apples Bananas
BC> 4 Figs 4 Davis Oranges
BC> 5 Pears 5 Lynne Apples Oranges Bananas Figs Pears
Yu need a third table called "Crops grown by grower" where you have
the primary grower key and the primary crop key. Then you create one
record for Smith Figs, another for Smith Pears, 3rd for Jones Apples and
so on. Thus your crop table could have 5 records, your grower table 5
records and your "crops grown by grower" table 11 records.
And your report below then is very simple.
Of course, you should have still a Counter primary key on the crop, grower
and "crops grown by grower" table. Then in your relationships you tie the
various keys together.
