Using dimensions with multiple fact tables

Hi all,

I'm using SSAS 2005.  My cube structure looks like this;

Dim.Campaign           Fact.main                    Dim.magazine         Fact.issues          Dim.Issue
campaignID  _____   campaignID          __   MagazineID   ____  MagazineID    __  IssueID
                                  magazineID   __/                                        IssueID     __/
                                  mainID                                                        IssuesID

Fact.Issues is made from select I.*, M.MagazineID from fact.issues I inner join fact.main M on i.mainID = m.mainID
In Dimension usage Magazine appears under fact.main and fact.issues with a regular relationship type.

If I drag the issue dimension into rows every issue for every magazine is displayed.  If I drag magazine to the filter & pick one, every issue is still displayed.  If I then drag in a measure from fact.issue only the data for that magazine is dispayed.
If I do the same using the campaign dim instead of the issues dim, only the campaigns for the filtered magazine are shown even before the measure is dropped in.

What have I done wrong to make the issue dimension ignor the filter until measures are added (whereby the cube is set to suppress rows with no data)?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Kinton
