I am very new to Access. I have 2 tables. One has invoice info, the other payment info. Inv table has customer numbers that might appear several times on diff invoices. Ex Cust A, Inv1 $20, Inv3 $10. The Pmt table has customer numbers that appear only once with a total $ amt for multiple inv. Cust A $30. I want to combine tables with results showing me the $amt received for each customer. These table are created in Excel and imported into Access. When I run a query my line count and $$ amounts are increased. What am I doing wrong??!
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
If you want to see the customer information and only an overall amount of all invoices then you would create a Query and select both tables, then select the Customer field and the amount field from the other table, then use a Grouping to Sum the Invoice Values?

If you want to show the Customer information and all the invoices and then a total you would need to create a Report which uses Groupings.

I think that you may need to look at the "Join Properties" between the tables - if not set correctly you may get more records than expected.
