[AccessD] Dumb one for ya!

I suggested this, but she doesn't get it...and I don't have time to do
it right now. So, if I can just give her a quick answer for now, and
then dodge her for a few days, I'll be good to go. 
 
However, my headache has started to ease, and with it I have gained
some clarity. I am realizing how stupid my approach was--even if I could
find the proper syntax to reference the table, it still won't work. I
think I'll just have to be mean and tell her she is doing it wrong, and
that I can help her re-work it, but she will have to wait a few days.

...why not change the form source to a query based on both tables?
