The names look identical. The form is set up as a Many-to-Many Relationship
Tables are basically set up as follows Item_Master Item_Number PK Item_desc .... Invoice_Header Invoice_Number PK ..... Invoice_Trans Invoice_Number FK* Item_Number FK ... Thanks, Matthew D.

Using a multi-table form having One-to-Many table relations, the link between Master/Slave table(s) is established by using the "common column names with matching data". Common Column Names with Matching Data is the key. So, in your specific situation, using the Data Browser, take a look at the list of columns in Invoice_Header table. Then, take a look at the list of all columns in Invoice_Trans table. Find the common columns and the matching data. That simple exercise should provide you with some blue's clues ... If installed, you may also use the R:Column Analyzer Plugin 9.5 to visually display and analyze One-to-Many or Many-to-Many relationship between tables.
