Would need to know a bit more about your structure, but in general, you need to get the fields you need to your 'common' table. In this case, everything is somehow tied to Table 2.
So take your fields from Table 1 and get them to table 2. Then from Table 2, take those fields and get them to table 3.
I use the words 'get them' because it will be a lookup field or summary field depending on how all your tables are connected.

Thanks for your help! Any idea what would cause Active Project - MS1 (date field) to be empty. This report comes from Table 3.

- Do you have 2 tables, one called projects and one called active projects? My hunch is that you have 2 relationships, Active projects is a parent to this table, and Projects is a parent to this table.
I say that because QB defaults lookup fields with table name, then field. So I suspect Active Project - MS1 is a lookup field from a table called Active Projects. So my hunch is that you have not selected an 'Active Project' in this table. ie, the parent isn't selected.

------------------------------- I really appreciate your help Mike. Let me give you more details:
Table 1 - Projects, Table 2 - Tracker2, Table 3 - Pole Location
Relationship 1:
Relationship 2:

------------------------------- Check 'Related Active Project'. Is that selected? If not, that is why your MS1 field is blank. If it is selected, be sure the MS1 field in the related Active Project is indeed filled out.
