I have a {customer.table} and a {transaction.table} that are linked using the inner join method.

Each sale is recorded in the transaction table along with the salesperson code.

I would like to print a report for each customer that has been working with salesperson 'MS'.

When I use Record Select Expert to only include the 'MS' salesperson, I get multiple customer records because the 'MS' salespersons may have sold to that customer many times in the past.

Am I linking the two tables wrong?

Thanks for any help.

you are linking "correctly" however you can use a SQL command or a stored proc to make your selection different like using a SELECT DISTINCT.
If you want only one record to appear in crystal you can als group on the customer and suppress the detail section. If you havemore than one salesperson you would need to group on that too, or combine the customer and salesperson into a formula field and group on that.

I see...

Group by customer and suppress the detail worked great!

Summarizing any customer fields includes ALL the detail added up though...including the duplicates.

So,I guess if I want a summary not including duplicates, I would create a running total field and sum on change of group-CUSTOMER?

likely.
depends on each summary. sometimes using a distinct count is simpler.
