Ok this next question is going to take some explaining.

A table holds custom values for multiple other tables. These tables are linked as in the image. Now the two fields I have circled are also linked - the {User_Values.Text3} holds custom values for {Transactional_Detail.Job}



If I add the {User_Values.Text3} to my report its empty but I get the {Transactional_Detail.Job} entries fine.

Am I right in thinking there must be a "middle man" table which links these two tables together, and that's the only way the values can be joined?

Thanks

doesn't have to be. depending on the structure of the tables, TransactionalDetail could join to UserValues directly, or there could be a middle table. And again depending on the usage of the custom values the join could be either inner or outer.
