OR Statement inside Link Child and Master Fields

I'm creating a database and I would like to include an OR statement in the field linking.
I have two fields that work together as being unique, so the AND (read: semicolon) works great in that sense. I would also like to include records that match another field aswell.
I successfully did this using QBF with a stored procedure, however I was unable to insert new records.

Table Layouts:
Cable Records: Cable, Pair, ..., Local, ...
SR/TT Junction: SR/TT, ..., Cable, Pair, Local, ...
SR/TT: SR/TT, Time, Date, Remarks, Pers

I have SR/TT and SR/TT Junction joined in the subform and am looking to link the (Cable and Pair) or Local fields with Cable Records to eliminate the need for a form to show each field link.

I am using a datasheet and it won't let me use multiple subforms.

Using:
MS ACCESS 2003
MS SQL Server 2000

Has anyone done something similar to this?

Thanks,

Banks.
 
try this

use this stored procedure for the subform


Create procedure spname

@prram1 type,
@pram2 type,
@pram3 type
As


Select field1,field2
from tablename
where field1=@prram1
And field2=@prram2
union
select
Select field1,field2
from tablename
where pram3=fieldxx


return


and in the InputParameters of the subform
@prram1 type=forms!formname!controlname,
@pram2 type=forms!formname!controlname,
@pram3 type=forms!formname!controlname
you might need a requery on the on current of the main form





return
 
Yes, a stored procedure will retreive records, however I am unable to insert new records through a stored procedure.
 
if yo change the SP from a union to an or does it help

Create procedure spname

@prram1 type,
@pram2 type,
@pram3 type
As


Select field1,field2
from tablename
where (field1=@prram1 And field2=@prram2)
or (pram3=fieldxx)


return
