Aaron, thanks for your code!

However, for the moment, I am determined that something as base as a view,has to work! In fact, it's probably the reason I have in the past, continued to use stand-alone tables setting relations in the dataenvironment of forms, rather than using views, because of this erratic, unreasonable behavior (with views). I wish there were more defined, and more numerous error definitions, and solutions for these type of problems.

If no solutions come my way, I will use your code, which seems neat and effective.

With best regards,

Steve.
