Blob dictates duplicate items in details section-based on supression

Question

I was orginally having issues with my supression on this.  I think I have it figured out. But..
I have parts that I request that sometimes have drawing with them.  I created a table in Access with 3 columns - number, .bitmap., nameof drawing
I brought this table in.  I place 1 drawing in the reports and this changes based upon the Paramter{drawing.id} that I have beeing selected.  The problem is that  I get duplicate fields produced in my details section.  Now the blob sits in my report footer C.  Can anyone suggest why or help with why my data is duplicating in my details section?
all items in my details section are duplicating
here is my sql if it helps:
max40385
SELECT "PR"."PRNUM", "COMPANIES"."NAME",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS1", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS2",
"COMPANIES"."ADDRESS3", "COMPANIES"."ADDRESS4",
"COMPANIES"."PHONE", "COMPANIES"."FAX", "PR"."SHIPTOATTN",
"COMPANIES_1"."NAME", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS1",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS2", "COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS3",
"COMPANIES_1"."ADDRESS4", "PR"."ISSUEDATE", "PR"."CONTACT",
"PR"."REQUIREDDATE", "PRLINE"."ITEMNUM", "PRLINE"."ORDERUNIT",
"PRLINE"."ORDERQTY", "PRLINE"."DESCRIPTION",
"PRLINE"."UNITCOST", "PRLINE"."LINECOST",
"PRLINE"."PONUM", "LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDTEXT"
FROM   "MAXIMO"."PR" "PR", "MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES",
"MAXIMO"."COMPANIES" "COMPANIES_1", "MAXIMO"."PRLINE"
"PRLINE", "MAXIMO"."LONGDESCRIPTION" "LONGDESCRIPTION"
WHERE  ("PR"."VENDOR"="COMPANIES"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."SHIPTO"="COMPANIES_1"."COMPANY") AND ("PR"."PRNUM"="PRLINE"."PRNUM") AND ("PRLINE"."LDKEY"="LONGDESCRIPTION"."LDKEY" ) AND "PR"."PRNUM"='25334'
C:\Documents and Settings\kpowell\My Documents\Drawings.mdb
SELECT `Parts_Drawings`.`ID`
FROM   `Parts Drawings` `Parts_Drawings`
Edit here-
Ok - I have 3 parameters
1- sets pr field ={?pr.num}
2.- mandatory answer determines a supress on fields(blob, and section blob is in) - supress statment is   - {?yes/no}=no  - for both areas
the parameter is {?yes/no}
3. sets up the blob to put into the document base upon a field in the table
that I made in access (based upon column 1 in acces table) - user makese selection based upon yes or no above if no then just leave it as  ......
The wired thing is when I have multiple line items in my Pr (purchase request)
if I included a drawing there are no duplicate details
If I dont include the blob (meaning I supress it based upon the answer in  my parameter - all items in the details section duplicate  ( i suppress these if duplicated but it leaves huge gaps in my report.... any help would be great!
Ok i figured it out. In my access table i created the 1st entry and left the bitmap entry empty and put a descrition of not needed. I selected this  as my drawing in my 3rd parameter and it satifies the report as thinking it has  a drawing in it even though there is not.  So all my duplicate line item in my details section disappear.  thanks all
