  It sounds to me like although you've given the fields in the third
table the names of fields from the first two, you haven't quite
managed to tell Access that these fields are supposed to refer to
entries in those other tables.
  There's a special term for this: "foreign key".  I think if you
search for help on that, it will guide you through defining the
relationship between the tables that you need.
