Almost...but somewhat reversed: I want to see the permitees who have paid
for in combination of 3 certain facilites (a walkway, an underbrushing permit,
or a Rip-Rap voucher) and NOTHING ELSE. Other permitees can have those
things plus anything else on the list of 29 items....THEY are charged an
Overhead fee. The ones that have 3 or less of the ones in () are exempt from
paying an overhead fee. That is why i need to filter them out. {This policy
of changing who gets charged an OH fee just went into effect}. Does this
clarify ANYTHING?

On the basis of your HR analogy you seem to be saying you want to return
those permittees who hold 3 permits numbered 1 to 3, no more, no less, rather
than those who hold any 3 permits, but no more. If so try this:

SELECT *
FROM tblPermittees
WHERE
(SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM tblPermitDetails
WHERE tblPermitDetails.PermitteeID = tblPermittees.PermitteeID
AND PermitID IN (1,2,3)) = 3
AND NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM tblPermitDetails
WHERE tblPermitDetails.PermitteeID = tblPermittees.PermitteeID
AND PermitID 3);

Permitee master table containing a field that identifies the restricted
