I have 4 related tables which are fed from several forms. Only the forms feeding into the first table are mandatory for all applicants. For the remaining 3 tables, it depends on the type of applicant as to whether they need to complete the related forms or not.
BUT, I need to be able to print one summary report showing all of the data, regardless of whether the applicant has posted data to all 4 tables or just 2 or 3.
I created a view of all 4 tables. In the view I indicated the key field that connects each of the 4 tables. However it seems that if that key field isn't present for all 4 tables (i.e. because the applicant didn't need to complete that table's form), then no record is returned.
Help! Please tell me there is a way to retrieve all of the data from multiple tables when only some of the tables are required!
