FORMS: Multiple Record Relations? Many to Many

I'm having a problem creating a form with a many to many relation.
I have 3 tables as follows:
TABLE 1 TABLE 2 TABLE 3 ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ Name ID_Number Friend_ID ID_Number Friend_ID Name
By chosing a name from table 1 I would like to see a list the list of friends names from table 3. I would like to show more than one row from table 3 on the form (maybe 5 or ten would be nice). The problem is asking FORMS to display 5 rows from table 3 is useless since the relation between table 2 to table 3 is many:1. I tried to display 5 rows of table 2 in hopes that FORMS would be smart enough to realize that since there is a relation between table 2 and table 3 that it should also display 5 rows of table 3 (and have each row be related to it's partner row in table 2). This does not work however.
Help?
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thanks,
Anil Rhemtulla
