>You are probably write, this wasn't the way I used it. I did it trying to bind a field to an XtraReport at runtime. I got to the relation created, then got stuck in how to bind the field from the child to the label in the Master-Detail band. I was binding referencing the child table, and then saw that I had to pass the Relation created. This is the syntax XtraReports expects :

Well I get this question a lot (in public and private) I think I should remove that from my signature. It's really a long story. In summary, I added it when someone started to question posters who assigned stars to me when there were almost exactly same answer sent by someone else earlier. So I got it as, rather than being a solution marker, it is sensed as a credibility or something like that marker. I feel I don't need it then.
