just need to link the database tables or what? im not sure if
anyone can help please let me know. cheers

Answer 1

Since it sounds like you're using a standard relational
database, then there should be a field in the first table that ties
to the second table. Lets call that field name1 for demo's sake.
In the 2nd Recordset (switch to advanced mode so that you can
put it in manually)
SELECT * FROM TABLENAME2
WHERE name1 = DBNAME.TABLENAME1.name1
ORDER BY record_number (or a date field) DESC
Another way to do it is to set it up in two pages. set up the
first page using your first recordset and bind it into a form. then
pass the name1 value in that form to the second page (GET not POST)
and you can set up your second page's recordset to filter (name1 =
URL Parameter = name1 (the passed field from the first page) that
will pull all info based on the info passed from the first
recordset and display it.
