query is duplicating information

I have three queries: the first calculates total hours that an employee has worked (from weekly hours in a table) on a certain project on a certain month and year. the second is a subquery of the first, and calculates the the sum_of_total_hours * billing rate and creates the cost to charge for that labor for the month. Finally, the 3rd query is a sub of the 2nd, and calculates the total cost per month for a certain project.

Assuming a perfect world where there is only one month and one project, everything works fine. The problem is when there are multiple people working on multiple project on different months.

When I combine this information into a report or a 4 main query, the information is duplicated many times. Naturally since I am quite new to Access, I do not really know what to do. I was fiddling with the join properties but they dont seem to make a difference.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Damian
 
alright... just figured it out... had to change the linkages between queries and tables in order to get the information to flow properly and eliminte the duplicates
