Show 1st Item from Child Table When Showing Records in Parent Table
Ed,
It is highly unlikly that this technique will work reliably.
Larry,
What field(s) do the two tables have in common, to link by
(InvoiceID)?
What field in your InvoiceLineItems table will identify the "first"
entry for a particular InvoiceID?
I would have thought that the [Account_Number] field would have been
in your Invoices table, rather than in the InvoiceLineItems table.

Hi Larry,
Include all the fields from the parent table, the
accountnumber field from the child table, and for the
totals column for the account number, set it to First.
That should give you what you are looking for.
