Naomi, that is EXACTLY what the problem was.

I remember now that I initially accepted the default of C(10) continue for the new field called STANDSIN.CUST. I meant to go back and change it to C(6), to match the CUSTOMER table, but forgot to make the change. I just tried it with the modified field size now down to C(6) for the field CUST and it works perfectly now.

Thank you very much, Naomi,

Cecil

>>Herman, I put "ADDITIVE" in, but it still won't show the Customer Name in the grid column. The controlsource says "Customer.Customer", which is the actual customer name, yet it won't display. I have the carrier name displaying perfectly each time, but not the customer name. I used a LOCAL VIEW and that worked fine in displaying the customer name. But, why it won't with a regular FoxPro table is strange to say the least. In one case, the SET RELATION works fine, yet in the other, it doesn't work.
