I have a form where the user can select multiple Practice Areas in a drop-down box. However when I run the report for the records, it creates multiple records for that single entry. How can I get it to only show the record once no matter how many Practice Areas I choose. I tried to "Hide Duplicates" in the report but I can't do that in case there is another record that happens to have the same exact practice areas. Any ideas?

Hi,

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome2UA.gif)

You may have included the Value subfield of your multi-value field in your report instead of just the field's name.

Just my 2 cents... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/2cents.gif)

I noticed that and tried it again (Practice Area vs Practice Area.Value) but it's still doing the same thing.

just a hunch:

Select YourTable.[Practice Area] From YourTable Where (Not ((YourTable.[Practice Area].Value) Is Null))

Is your report based on a query with multiple tables? If so, maybe you need to check the JOINs you're using?
