Daniel writes "I am in need of guidance. I have a database with many-to-many (or one-to-many and another many-to-one relationship) relationships. Here is an example of what it looks like:

Table Name: Facilities
Fields For Facilities: FacilityID, FacilityName

Table Name: Products
Fields For Products: ProductID, ProductName

Table Name: ProductCategories
Fields For ProductCategories: ProductCategoryID, ProProductCategoryName

(below are the relational tables)

Table Name: FacilityProductRelation
Fields for FacilityFacilityProductRelation: FacilityID, ProductID

Table Name: FacilityProductCategoryRelation
Fields for FacilityProductCategoryRelation: FacilityID, ProductCategoryID

Table Name: Products&CategoryRealtion
Fields for Products&CategoryRealtion: ProductID, ProductCategoryID

What I am doing is, a user goes to a page selects a facility type. They then are sent to a page that displays all the product categories associated with the facility type. The user has the option of selecting a single product category or all the categories listed (it is a drop down list of product categories and an All categories selections). What I want displayed are all the products associated with the product categories that are also associated with the facility types. There is a twist, however. For example ProductID 1 may related to ProductCategoryID 7, and ProductCategoryID 7 is related to FacilityID 2, but ProductID 1 isn't related to FacilityID 2 so ProductID 1 would not be displayed.

I am using Access2000 and Windows2000 Server (SP1) running IIS5. Thank you."
