Below is the SQL from the source...the relevant controls are as follows..

Name: SKU #
Type: Text Box
Countrol Source: SKU #

Name: SKU Description
Type: Text Box
Countrol Source: SKU Desc

There is a combo box, but I don't think it is relevant to the problem.
Name: Ad Date
Control Source: Ad Date
Row Source: Ad Dates
Bound Column: 1
Column Count :1

I'm puzzled. I don't see any reason why that query wouldn't do the
"autolookup" that comes in so handy. A test query that I made, which also
involves two left joins in a similar fashion, works fine in Access 2007;
likewise a form that I based on the query.

Would you be interested in sending me a copy of your database to look at?
If so, you can send it to the address derived by removing NO SPAM and
".invalid" from the reply address of this message. If that address isn't
visible to you, you can get my address from my web site, which is listed in
my sig. Do *not* post my real address in the newsgroup -- I don't want to
be buried in spam and viruses. It would be best if you could make a
cut-down copy of the database, containing just the elements necessary to
demonstrate the problem, compact the copy, and and zip it for sending.
