Hello all... I apologize in advance if this is a really simple problem...
but here goes...

I've got two databases, one of swimming lesson registrants and one is map of
provincial postal codes.  I'm trying to do a sql query to add the field
comm_name from the postal code database to my lesson database matching on
postal code (the common link is the postal code).  My problem is (for
example) I have 93 registrations from a particular pool, but when I link it
to the postal code file to add the comm_name field I end up with 126
records... because some postal codes have more than one record in the postal
code file (e.g. Blaine Lake has 6 postal code records (points) on the same
postal code).  I'm dealing with a many-to-many relationship where both files
could have the same postal code listed numerous times, but the comm_name
field is always the same for each postal code in the postal code file.

Is there a distinct condition or something I should be using?  Any thoughts
would be appreciated?
