Multi-Tabled Report 1

I have been trying for a while now to create a report based on a couple of tables.

Table 1 is the "Header" for the report, which is the building details.

The other tables are:
Electrical
Mechanical


so, a report would look something like:

Building 1
Electrical Item 1
Electrical Item 2
Electrical Item 3
Mechanical Item 1
Mechanical Item 2
Mechanical Item 3

Building 2
Electrical Item 1
Mechanical Item 1
Mechanical Item 2
Mechanical Item 3

Building 3
Mechanical Item 1
Mechanical Item 2
Mechanical Item 3

For some reason, even if I group the items, I can't get it to show ANY data at all!!!

The tables are all linked by [Property_ID], which is an AutoNumber in the building table.

Each other table had [Property_ID] and it's own associated ID: [Electrical_ID] & [Mechanical_ID] which are AutoNumbers on their table.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should base your report on only "Table 1". Create two subreports to display the Electrical and Mechanical records. This is exactly the same as using subforms on a main form.
