Question about getting data from multiple tables

I have a report that receives a Soc. Sec. No. parameter. The first table I
need data from is keyed on SSN. This table also has Id. column.
I need to use the value in the ID column to retreive data from a different
data table for another part of the report.
From a design point of view how should I approach this.

DonThis will most likely work, depending on the nature of your report:
Simply join your tables in your source query (data tab). You can group your
layout based on data in the first table. Or you can base different parts of
the report on different source queries, but make both queries filtered on
the same data.
