Some questions:
Since the 3 tables have common key fields AcCode, how would you relate ACTRANS to ACTR2? I am thinking of a missing field in ACTRANS which is ACTRANSCODE.

>>>I've 3 tables :-
>>>
>>>ACGLMST -> General Ledger codes,
>>>Fields AcCode, Description, OpnBal
>>>
>>>ACTRANS -> Transaction file, Parent of Actr2,
>>>Fields AcCode, Date, Amt, DrOrCr
>>>
>>>ACTR2 -> Child of Actrans, 1 to Many Relation,
>>>Fields Actranscode, AcCode, Date, Amt, DrOrCr
>>>
>>
>>Let's assume that DrOrCr field contains either D for Debit C for Credit
>>
>>You can separate DR or CR columns by: IIF(DrOrCr='D',amt,0) AS Debit, IIF(DrOrCr='C',amt,0) AS credit etc., etc.
>>
>>>I need report in following format
>>>

>>>
>>>Ledger Code 1     "Scb Bank A/c"        Opening Balance 145,000.00
>>>==================================================================
>>>
>>>AcCode   Description    Date        DrAmt       CrAmt
>>>
>>>12       Xyz Customer   01/01/99    50,000.00    -
>>>13       Claims         15/02/99     -          1560.00
>>>
>>>Ledger Code 2 etc. etc.
