Larry,

You lost me about "adding the parent table(view). Are you talking about the view designer? the DE of a form? the database designer? or maybe the table designer?

>Thanks again for the input. I wanted to add the parent table (actually another view) to the child view in the database like you can in the view designer. You would think that the DBSETPROP(childview,'view',tables,...) would do it, but it does not.
