Default Creating forms that populate many to many relationships

Would someone out there be able to share with me how to create forms that are populated from other tables that are related by two many-to-many relationships?

Thanks for any and all of your suggestions.

You need a 3rd table between the other two, to resolve the many-to-many into
a pair of one-to many relations.

Then create a main form into one of the main tables, with a subform into the
junction table.

For an example, see:

Allen: I have one more question... do you have an email that I could discuss my issue with you? I may be reashed at

Not a good idea to post your email address in these forums, as the spambots
are constantly scanning for addresses.

My address is there in the sig, but we prefer for the discussion to take
place in these forums where everyone can benefit.
