Default Double Results in Query

SELECT DataEntry.OrderTakenBy
, DataEntry.Company
, DataEntry.Date
, DataEntry.Category
, DataEntry.ShortCode
, DataEntry.ContactName
, DataEntry.PositionTitle
, DataEntry.PostDateExt
, DataEntry.FirmPreview
, DataEntry.AllorProgramCodes
, DataEntry.Units
, DataEntry.value
, DataEntry.MarketingCode
, CallLog.TotalCalls
, CallLog.AvgTalkTime
, CallLog.TotalTalkTime
FROM DataEntry INNER JOIN CallLog ON DataEntry.Date = CallLog.Date
WHERE (((DataEntry.Date)=[Enter Date]));

Can you explain WHAT results you want? If you want just one row returned for
each CallLog entry, then you need to decide how you are going to consolidate
the DateEntry fields for that date. DataEntry.Date is going to be the same
for every row for the specified date, but I assume that Company could vary
between records on the date.

Also, you talk about DataEntry and CallLog having entries per person, but I
don't see that used in your query. I would expect to see the join include
something like
FROM DataEntry INNER JOIN CallLog ON DataEntry.Date = CallLog.Date
AND DataEntry.PersonFieldID = CallLog.PersonIDField

I am trying to create a query that returns data from 2 tables. one table can
have multiple entries on one day per person and the other table will only
have one entry per person.

2 tables are

DataEntry - will have multiple entries per day per person
CallLog - one entry per person per day

SELECT DataEntry.OrderTakenBy, DataEntry.Company, DataEntry.Date, DataEntry.
Category, DataEntry.ShortCode, DataEntry.ContactName, DataEntry.PositionTitle,
DataEntry.PostDateExt, DataEntry.FirmPreview, DataEntry.AllorProgramCodes,
DataEntry.Units, DataEntry.value, DataEntry.MarketingCode, CallLog.TotalCalls,
CallLog.AvgTalkTime, CallLog.TotalTalkTime
FROM DataEntry INNER JOIN CallLog ON DataEntry.Date = CallLog.Date
WHERE (((DataEntry.Date)=[Enter Date]));

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
