Access 2016 form converting text to ID in a linked table

Hello -

I am new to Access and have been beating my brain and wasting A LOT of time trying to figure out how to correct a problem. I'm using a form to create records which are then linked to a table. The problem is that in my form, the fields all show text, but in the table, in reports, etc, the text is being converted to the ID number rather than text. For example, a tour record for Belville Elementary is showing up as "30" in the table of "Tour Records" rather than the name of the group. The same thing is happening with another field (Tour type) as seen here. I've been trying to figure out how to fix this, and am getting nowhere. Can anyone help?

    It looks like you managed to create two fields with the same name and that is what is confusing things.
