Thanks for the help ed, it was very useful, but how do i
make the reports that show the info from both forms? I
keep getting a pop up box that says that there is no
relationship between the two, and when i made the forms i
specifically made the relationship. Can anyone help?

Reports don't show information from Forms. Information is not stored
in Forms; it's stored in Tables (using Forms as a tool to enter and
edit it, so the form is what you *see*).

Your Report should be based on a Query linking the tables which
contain the data you want reported. If you've done all your work on
Forms, you're starting in the middle! The foundation of the house
you're building (the Access application) is the Tables and their
relationships. Unless you have them correct you'll have no end of
trouble. For instance, you CANNOT create a Relationship between forms;
you can create a relationship between Tables, and then use forms and
subforms to manage data in those tables.

Please describe your table structure and the nature of the data which
you wish to store and report.
