Terry:
I was trying to set up something similar to what you have. Two weeks ago, the Grid gave me that problem. My coworker thought of a workaround, which involved programatically setting the ControlSource, RecordSource, data, etc., instead of setting them in the Properties window. That solved that problem. This week, my Relations weren't functioning properly. I wanted to put data in Labels, but it didn't work because of what seems to be a FoxPro bug regarding Relations. I eventually thought of a workaround using SEEKs and SCAN FORs, but I am going to have to use them in every necessary Method, instead of just once as a successful Relation would have allowed.
